Barry Larkin
Year: 1996
Brand: Bowman
Insert set: Bowman's Best Preview - Refractor
Card number: 17
A few days ago, I showed off the Atomic Refractor version of this card. Today, we have the more common Refractor to take a look at. As a reminder, the Refractor Preview cards were seeded 1:24 packs while the Atomic Refractor Previews were seeded 1:48 packs. Interestingly enough, I think I prefer the more understated Refractor as opposed to the much crazier looking Atomic Refractor!
As for the card design itself, I think this is one of the better looking cards with the word "Bowman" on it anywhere. Generally, I find Bowman designs to be lacking any sort of style or inspiration. The inspiration here certainly isn't lacking...though what that inspiration was is a bit unknown (a flattened banana highway perhaps?). No matter, this is another nice card to have in my Barry Larkin Collection!
I totally agree. Regular Refractor > Atomic Refractor
