37 out of 100 — our all-round score from the season line, his tools against the level, and how young he is for it.
His best /499 asks $7.99, over the $6.49–6.99 that card has sold in.
Closest of his is Brayan Cortesia 2025 Bowman 1st Chrome… at $7.99. Player not there yet.
Our take
Fringe prospect, expensive market.
Brayan Cortesia scores 37 out of 100 (#3765 of the 7,922 we score), and the case rests on one thing: young for the level — +1.0y vs his level at Rookie — younger than 80% of the players there.
His core Bowman card has been selling at $4–5 off 2 confirmed sales.
The thing most likely to be wrong here: thin comp evidence — 1 confirmed sale in 90 days. Treat any value here as a single data point, not a price.
The signal
Young for the level
+1.0y vs his level at Rookie — younger than 80% of the players there.
Power: well below
.014 ISO — isolated power — slugging minus batting average, so hits that go for extra bases
OPS slipping
.798 last season to .638 this one.
Power slipping
.041 last season to .014 this one.
The case is fading
Baseball momentum 0/100 — the on-field case is fading. Read from his baseball alone — never from what his cards did.
Speed: plus
68 SB per 600 PA — stolen bases per full season of plate appearances Better than 91% at his level.
Why now
5 new copies listed this week
Fresh supply on this exact card. More choice, and more downward pressure.
What could go wrong
Thin comp evidence
1 confirmed sale in 90 days. Treat any value here as a single data point, not a price.
Benchmark not checklist-verified
His core card was identified from how raw base 1st bowman chrome auto sellers describe it, not from a checklist. The identity is likely, not established.
Asks above the sold band
Every live card of his we can price is asking more than these have actually sold for, so today's entry is at a premium.
What the hobby pays for him
Benchmark card: 2025 Bowman Chrome 1st Auto CPA-BC — raw, base, unnumbered.

The card that matters
A card-quality answer, not a price one. It does not change when a seller changes their mind.
2025 Bowman Chrome 1st Auto CPA-BC
Raw base 1st Bowman Chrome Auto
The canonical prospect vehicle — every player who has one is compared on it. Identified from 32 independent sellers describing it — likely, not established.
A card is never the one to own because it is numbered. Scarcity is a modifier on a vehicle, not a vehicle — a /25 of a card nobody collects is a rarer version of nothing.
Best value right now
Where the money would go today, which is frequently a lesser card than the one above — or nowhere.
No good entry today
The closest to fair is 2025 Bowman Chrome Brayan Cortesia 1st Bowman Rookie RC Auto #CPA-BC Nationals at $20.17, 404% over the $4–4.25 that copies of it have confirmed sold in. Nothing of his is currently below its own sold band.
That card at or under $4 delivered would be at the bottom of what it has actually sold for.
What would make this a buy
- Needs a $3 drop

On the 20–80 scale every scouting report uses: 50 is average, and every 10 points is one standard deviation. Measured against 1087 hitters at Rookie — measured against real players at the same level right now — not a scout's projection of what he becomes.

+1.0y vs his level
years younger than the median player at his level — positive is young for the level
The overall figure averages the 4 skill rows only. The box-score row and the age row are shown but deliberately left out of it — one is the result those skills produced, and the other is not a skill at all.
The argument
skills at the 40th percentile of the cohort, production at the 25th — the gap between the two is ordinary for this level.
Nothing to arbitrage here: he is producing about what his skills say he should. Judge the card on price and the player on the grades.
How this is read: his skills average 40 and his production sits at 25, a gap of +15. That gap on its own means little — an average of several percentiles always sits nearer the middle than a single one — so it is ranked against the same figure computed the same way for the 1,087 players at his level we hold a full profile for, where it lands at the 73th percentile.
Will he get there?
Long shot 4.3 / 10
- nothing stands out either way
This is an ordering score, not a percentage. We hold no outcome data and have run no backtest, so “a 93% chance of reaching the majors” would be a number we made up and you then spent money on. Built on 82% of what it wants to know — missing readiness.

What his cards have sold for1 logged sale
Real completed sales only — nothing here is an estimate. These come from the scan: it asks eBay about listings it has already seen, and one that ends at a fixed price is recorded as a sale. That builds up over days. You can add one by hand below if you happen to know it, but you are not meant to be the price database.
Only 1 sale logged so far. We need at least two to draw a line, and about five spread over a month before the numbers mean much. Add sales you find using the button below.
