The base cards have a very nice new design to them. The front of the cards have framed action shots of the players. The back of the cards has a short bio and a section called accolades that lists the players awards and significant accomplishments in the major leagues. Also, there is a section that lists the players Minor and Major league complete stats.

We pulled one rookie card and two prospect cards from this pack of Bowman Originals. The rookie we pulled has a blue border and is #d to /249. The back of the RC has a short bio, a section called Accolades and a section that lists the players complete Major league record.

The odds say two autographs and two autographs is what we got. Nice high-quality uncirculated autographs of Hanley Ramirez of the Florida marlins and Wily Mo Pena of the Cinncinnati Reds.

The
Final Verdict! |
|
|
|
| I rate this pack a 4 1/2 of 5 HI Fives. 2006 Bowman Originals Baseball is a nice high-quality card product. You can usually find these packs in the $31 to $50 price range. As far as value for the money, it's hard to determine when only opening one pack from a box. But, we did meet all of the odds and pulled two very nice autographs in the process.
