1989 Bowman Baseball
Key features
Rookies and prospects: Bowman has historically focused on prospects; the 1989 release includes young players early in their careers.
Notable rookies: The set is not known for a single iconic rookie the way some other years are, but it contains several future MLB regulars and role players who went on to notable careers.
Photography: Mostly posed and game-action shots with straightforward design; plenty of team-color banners and simple typography.
Inserts and parallels: 1989 Bowman is a relatively simple product compared to later years — limited or no factory-insert chase cards, and few if any numbered parallels in standard packs.
