Description
A stunning 2024 Bowman Chrome 1st Bowman card of Baltimore Orioles prospect Wehiwa Aloy. This card features the vibrant Fuchsia Lunar Crater Refractor parallel, characterized by its pink snake-skin or crater-like textured border pattern. The card is serial numbered 185/199 in gold foil on the bottom right. Features the '1st Bowman' logo, designating this as the player's most important early prospect card.
Key Features
Features the '1st Bowman' logo which is the gold standard for MLB prospect collecting. It is a rare 'Lunar Crater' parallel numbered to only 199, and features a top prospect within the high-demand Baltimore Orioles farm system.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The serial numbering (185/199) is etched correctly into the surface. The 'Lunar Crater' refractor pattern is complex and difficult to replicate. Chrome stock thickness and back-side copyright text are consistent with 2024 Topps/Bowman production.
Flaws to Note
Centering appears shifted slightly toward the bottom-right edge. There is a potential minor white speck on the bottom-right corner tip (could be lighting or a corner touch). Fingerprints are visible on the surface and should be wiped with a microfiber cloth before any grading or protection.
Selling Guide
