Cards to Hunt
1st Bowman Paper, Chrome,
and Chrome Autograph
Collector’s Note
Elly’s 2022 Bowman Chrome 1st is the foundational prospect card for collectors. The Chrome autograph and numbered refractors command a substantial premium over the paper and unsigned Chrome versions; compare the exact card type before evaluating prices.

Long-Term Hobby Appeal
De La Cruz’s unusual combination of speed, power, and defensive tools gives him one of baseball’s most recognizable collecting profiles. His ceiling supports substantial interest, but premium card prices remain sensitive to consistency at the plate, health, and sustained production.
