Bowman just cranked the amp to 11.
2025 Bowman Baseball dropped today, and one of the loudest new additions to the checklist is the Rockstar Rookies insert—a 20-card set that ditches the dugout for the big stage. Featuring top-tier rookies with action-packed photography lit up by the bright lights of a rock concert backdrop, this insert is all about turning rookie hype into a full-blown headliner experience.
Lights, Camera, Launch Angle
The design is pure showtime—players mid-swing or mid-stride, surrounded by spotlights, stage smoke, and concert-style energy. Whether you're a fan of rock-and-roll or just love over-the-top card art, this insert doesn’t whisper. It screams.Leading the checklist is James Wood, the 22-year-old Nationals outfielder who’s been one of the hottest names in the hobby this season. With 10 home runs already, he’s tied for 4th in the majors and has been a must-chase in everything from Topps Series 1 to now Bowman Rockstar Rookies.
He’s joined by teammate Dylan Crews, another standout from Series 1 whose cards have lit up secondary markets. A dual relic/auto featuring both Nationals stars sold for $2,500 on May 1.
