What does 1st Bowman mean?

It is a baseball prospect's first card in a Bowman product, marked with a 1st Bowman logo. It comes before his Major League debut, so it is a prospect card, not a rookie card; his rookie cards (with the RC logo) follow the season he debuts.

Is a 1st Bowman a rookie card?

No. A rookie card carries the RC logo and comes after a player's Major League debut. A 1st Bowman is his first Bowman prospect card, usually years earlier.
