The 2005 Bowman Draft Picks set produced the first official Bowman card documenting that selection – card #BDP129 in the Gold parallel, the shimmering gold foil treatment that separates the Bowman Draft Picks Gold from the base version, produced in limited quantities that make the Gold parallel a more scarce version of the Verlander Bowman RC. The collector who wants the Verlander Bowman RC in the premium Gold parallel has arrived at this card. 🌟\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ What Verlander would go on to accomplish from that 2005 card is a career that defines the category of elite starting pitching in the modern era: the 2011 season when he went 24-5 with a 2.40 ERA and became one of the few pitchers in history to win both the Cy Young Award and the American League MVP in the same season; the trade to Houston in 2017 where he joined an Astros team in the pennant race and contributed to a World Series championship; the 2022 return from injury at age 39 to win his third Cy Young Award with the Astros, proving that elite pitching craft ages differently than other athletic skills.
