In 2011, Inception became one of the best pre-rookie premiere products in football, being the first to really use retouched photos to deliver NFL uniforms. Back a few years ago, Topps decided to bring it to Baseball as a prospect focused Bowman product, and collectors have liked the way it transfers.

Here are some of the nice hits so far:

2015 Bowman Inception Kris Bryant Auto Letter Booklet 2/2

2015 Bowman Inception Kris Bryant Orange Auto Inception'ed RC

2015 Bowman Inception Mike Trout Origins Silver Signings

2015 Bowman Inception Bryce Harper Origins Silver Signings

Like football, Inception offers a lot of hard signed content for the prospects in the set, presented in a way that looks like painted sports art. Because many of the players have had photos in their MLB uniforms already, the retouching required for football isnt necessary. The cards look a lot cleaner as a result.

For the first time, non-rookie content has also been added to the product in the Silver Signatures set, with guys like Trout and Harper making their inception debut. With a design that looks like the side panel of a baseball, the cards look awesome with the filter used to create the look.

The one draw back is the bottom part of the checklist, which can be comprised of pretty weak performers on the secondary market. Because many of the subjects have already been featured in Bowman products prior, and their inception cards end up being just another in the pile. There are special cards like Silver Signings and Relic Auto parallels that still sell very well, but those are very tough pulls. The strong crop of rookies making their MLB debut have made it much easier to do well if you can pull one, though. Sano, Buxton, Correa, Schwarber, Bryant, Pederson, and others are all included to make up for the duds.

Box prices started at around 90-100 dollars for 5 autos, which isnt a big hit to the wallet. You can bust a box or two and not walk away feeling cheated. The relic auto per box has logo parallels, which are some of the only logos they will have for years. Inception'ed versions of Bowman RCs also are case hits, which have been really popular in the past. All look really high end and nice.

If I were more of a baseball collector, I would be all over this stuff. It plays to everything I love – on card autos, clean designs, and high end content. I have seen some hot cases too, so if you get a nice box, it might be in your best interest to keep ripping.
