Ranking Baseball Cards: Bowman

This is a shorter list, because Bowman didn't really start making their own unique cards back in my day until 1989. 

6) 89 Bowman

Not a bad looking card. Plain, sure. But I like how they have the fake signature on the card. Only problem is, you may not be able to understand some of the names here and there. But overall, it works. 

5) 91 Bowman

Like the previous one I spoke about. Plain but not ugly. It's amazing that they beat out everyone else in style this year save Topps. 

4) 90 Bowman

I like the rainbow border. Cards look a little more exciting than the previous of former years. 

3) 93 Bowman

A little bit fancier but still these look plain. Which is why they all landed lower on the list. 

2) 92 Bowman

For me, this is where Bowman starting making its mark in the industry. I remember we all loved this set. Dad actually completed a full collection. But due to their being a lot more cards to collect, none of us ever gave the effort to complete one ourselves. I remember never hearing about Bowman until then and going back and looking at some of their former years. But nothing (at the time) compared to the beautiful look of these. 

1) 94 Bowman

Wow! 94 must have been a better year for baseball cards than I remembered! I love this look too! I still think I would choose both Fleer and Donruss over this design, yet once again, Bowman beats Topps for the year as well.
