2001 Bowman's Best
Description
2001 Bowman's Best is a 200-card set. The last 50 cards in the set make up a rookie subset with every card serial-numbered to 2999 copies. Fifteen of the 50 rookies are exclusive to Bowman's Best, and not available in any other 2001 Topps product.
Although, like just about every other 2001 product, there are rookie cards of Albert Pujols and Ichiro Suzuki, almost half the "true" RCs in the set never played in an MLB game (RC*).
Distribution
24 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $5). Hobby only.
