If you are speculating and hoping to make money off the Bowman then you may want to keep them. However, if you are just keeping them out of sense of being "the right thing" then I say dump them.

Once I committed to Pre-War, I quickly determined that it is true what they say. You CANNOT serve two masters. I was nudged to sell my Post -War stuff by a pending job crunch (which I wound up avoiding) and was able to pay a bill or two, save a decent chunk (to calm the wife) and have been able to attack the Monster full bore. I also have been able to dabble in other sets such as T212-2, T212-3 (I decided to skip the Olde English), The T207 and T210 (staying with the lower Series for now), the Mecca Double Folds and even a few M116 and M101-4/5. If I was still chasing 50s/60s Topps and Bowman as well, I would be scuffling to get anywhere.
Bill, there is only one way to go.

Some great input, guys. Thank you.
I'm still torn, though. I know that the value of many of these cards will go down. But, I also know that these cards were hand selected to meet my card requirements. There are a few where the centering is a little bit off one way or another. But the quality of these cards is really high. And I don't know if I want to sell them, and have to buy most of them again later. Would I be able to get quality anywhere near where they were before?  That's pretty indicative of the ungraded Chrome autos I have. Not only would selling them be a pain, but getting all these cards packaged up....ugh. I could sell them, and pick up a really nice Routh Goudey, or the Gehrig Goudey, a Clemente '55 Topps rookie and a T206 Cobb bat off. Decisions, decisions...
