=Description=

2012 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects is a 55-card set (supplemented by a 165 card Draft Picks "insert" set) released November 28th, 2012.  BDP&P will follow a similar format as in previous year's product; however, for the first time, will be available in the popular HTA-exclusive jumbo pack format.  Also, for the first time since the mid-2000s, BDP&P will be released exclusive to Hobby outlets.

Each Hobby box will contain one Autographed Chrome Card, and HTA boxes three.

As of August 23, 2012, Topps is forcing distributors to buy six hobby cases for every jumbo case they buy. Most likely this will lead to an increase in price for Jumbo cases and boxes.

=Distribution=

Wax: 24 packs per box, seven cards per pack (MSRP: $4).  12 boxes per case.

HTA: 12 packs per box, 32 cards per pack (MSRP: $10).  Eight boxes per case.

===Errors===

It appears that a number of base cards have surfaced without the player's name foil-stamped on the front.  Although Topps has had a recent history with them, it is currently unknown if these cards are the latest cynical gimmick or an honest mistake.
