1990 Bowman

The folks at Topps made the decision that year two of Bowman would focus primarily on rookies and prospects, and for a Tiger collector in 1990, that wasn't such a bad thing. The cards themselves aren't much to look at. When viewed side-by-side with a 1990 Topps card they look elegant. When viewed side-by-side with each other, they look like something that came out of a box of Mueslix.

Again there are several Tigers here who I have never heard of. (Eric Stone? Steve Wapnick?) In the years before the internet that's to be expected I guess for someone living in Tennessee who had no way of following the Tigers minor league teams for free. But as bad as some of these "suspects" turned out to be, at least we got a nice rookie card of Travis Fryman. (It still gripes my ass that we traded him for Matt Drews, Gabe Alvarez, and Joe Randa)
