Earlier this summer, Topps put out a set called Bowman Platinum. It’s basically an upscale version of the regular Bowman set, with a mix of major league stars and a handful of rookies along with a bunch of prospects. I opted to pass on it, because I’m trying to limit my baseball card purchases to the major sets that manage to include a decent percentage of the guys on the team.
Sean from Condition:Poor made me reconsider Bowman Platinum when he showed a scan of Brad Emaus‘ card. Since I forgot that Emaus also had a card in Topps Series II, I decided to get the Bowman Platinum Mets cards after all.
In addition to Emaus, the set includes four other Mets: David Wright, Jose Reyes, Johan Santana and Ike Davis. (If you need any of them, let me know – I have at least one extra of everyone but Reyes.)
Here’s the checklist, plus the prospect “inserts” that I did not bother to get:
- 5 Brad Emaus
- 36 Johan Santana
- 62 David Wright
- 69 Jose Reyes
- 84 Ike Davis
- BPP36 Aderlin Rodriguez
- BPP44 Wilmer Flores
- BPP66 Matt Harvey
- BPP78 Brad Holt
- CPP81 Cesar Puello

Ooh! Aderlin! I’m going to have to hit up eBay, I guess.

When I was looking, I saw one or two people selling the full Mets team set w/prospects for around $10.
