Production halted after the United States entered the war, and the company did not return to making baseball, football, and other trading cards until 1948, now under the Bowman name.

For a few years, Bowman was the leading producer of baseball cards, but was overtaken by another company Topps. After a period in which the two fought to sign players to exclusive contracts for their cards, Topps bought out Bowman in 1956. Much later, the Bowman brand was resurrected by Topps in the 1990s to use on some of its subsidiary sports card sets.

In recent years, the Bowman company has became known for being a top brand in making Rookie Cards. Ever since being resurrected by Topps in 1989, Bowman has produced rookie cards of top MLB stars such as Ken Griffey, Jr. in 1989, Sammy Sosa in 1990, Mike Piazza in 1992, Vladimir Guerrero in 1995, Miguel Tejada in 1997 and Albert Pujols in 2001, David Wright in 2002 and Félix Hernández in 2004.

Bowman Chrome

Another popular trading card set produced by Bowman is the Chrome set. After the success of the Chrome set by Topps, Topps created a Bowman Chrome set in 1997. This was initially fueled by Rookie Cards of José Cruz, Jr. and Travis Lee, but top RC's from it now are Miguel Tejada's, Eric Chavez's, Kerry Wood's and Lance Berkman's cards. The set continued to be a mainstay, but it got a major jump in 2001 when Bowman decided to put Autographed Rookie Cards inside the base set. One of the Rookies that autographed cards for Bowman Chrome in 2001 was St. Louis Cardinals star Albert Pujols. This card continues to skyrocket in value, worth about $2,500 not graded. In 2002, MLB rising stars David Wright of the New York Mets, Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins and Bobby Jenks of the Chicago White Sox. In 2004, Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Félix Hernández signed an RC in Bowman Chrome which is a very valuable card.

Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects

Bowman also creates a set called Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects. This set is like regular Bowman, but shows cards of MLB Draft Picks, participating players from the MLB All-Star Futures Game and MLB rookies that have had previous issues (veteran cards). Usually relic cards featuring swatches from jerseys of All-Star Futures Game players, other memorobilia cards and Non-rookie autographs called Signs Of The Future. Bowman \"Draft\" also has two chrome cards per pack, and the chrome subset has autographed rookie cards and all the parallels from regular bowman chrome. Many stars have had rookie cards in Bowman Draft Picks. 2002 Bowman Draft has rookie cards of Florida Marlins prospect Jeremy Hermida, Oakland Athletics outfielder Nick Swisher, Atlanta Braves outfielder Jeff Francoeur, Tampa Bay Devil Rays shortstop B.J. Upton, San Diego Padres shortstop Khalil Greene and Florida Marlins pitcher Dontrelle Willis. 2003 Bowman Draft Picks has rookie cards of Boston Red Sox pitcher Jonathan Papelbon, New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Canó, Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks, Tampa Bay Devil Rays outfielder Delmon Young and Los Angeles Angels shortstop prospect Brandon Wood.
