The 2023 Bowman “1st Bowman” Nikau Pouaka-Grego printing plate is a one-of-one production artifact used to print the card, making it among the scarcest parallels in modern Bowman releases. Authentic plates are typically thin metal sheets showing a reversed/mirrored version of the card image, are stamped “Printing Plate,” and are identified by the specific color (black, cyan, magenta, or yellow) with “1/1” indicated. Demand is driven by the combination of the player’s prospect status and the “1st Bowman” designation, which is treated as the player’s key early Bowman issue, with premiums for matching the base “1st Bowman” card and for well-centered, clean plates with intact gloss/ink.
