MLB Future Watch: Colson Montgomery Cards Worth Chasing

One card to get is Montgomery’s 2023 Bowman’s Best Top Prospects. The card has a nice look, showing him in his classic batting stance.

His 2022 Bowman Draft card is a good one, as well. I love the design and how it blends into the photo. The action shot shows off his power stroke.

One last card could be his 2023 Panini National Treasures Patch Autograph. His signature is a good one and the cards are serial-numbered to just 99. It is a great card of this budding star.
