oh, bowman - why must you confuse me?

ok, this card is pretty straight forward.  it's a 2012 bowman card of matt kemp.  

as i mentioned yesterday, i don't buy bowman product so i get these cards as part of trades.  case in point, the kemp was sent to me by marcus at all the way to the backstop, and it is much appreciated.  also included in the package was this card

it's apparently a 2012 bowman chrome prospects card of joc pederson.  that's what i'm calling it anyway, due to the card number 'bcp104' on the back.  now i am assuming that this card was inserted into a pack of regular old bowman like the one that yielded the kemp card.  typically, i categorize inserts by the base set that they come with.  that's why posts where i show a gold parallel or a mini or a crazy looking insert will just be labeled with the basic set from which it came.  i can't have labels like '2010 topps update vintage legends' or some such nonsense.  like this next card, which came from 2012 topps archives, but is a 1958 topps combos insert.

to me, it is 2012_toppsarchives_kershaw-koufax, not 2012_toppsarchives1958toppscombo_kershaw-koufax.  so, back to the bowman chrome prospects card.  normally i would just call it 2012_bowman_pederson_chrome, but bowman has me so confused that i broke down and labeled it with the bowman chrome prospects tag.

thank goodness there were some good old fashioned non-insert cards included in the trade.  some double plays to boot!  here's a 1993 upper deck mariano duncan, with not one

but two turns at second.

hello, mike scioscia!

thanks for all the cards, marcus.  especially the ones that were easy for me to catalog.
