1999 Bowman Chrome is a 440-card set issued in two separate 220-card series.  The set is a [[parallel brand]] of the [[1999 Bowman]] set, but  printed on brilliant chromium 18-pt. stock.  
1999 Bowman Chrome was a 440-card set issued in two separate 220-card series.  The set again [[Parallel Brand|paralleled]] the [[1999 Bowman]] set and was printed on chromium 18-pt. stock. Series Two was produced smaller quantities that the first.


The second series was produced smaller quantities that the first.
Cards looked identical to the 1999 Bowman set but featured its staple [[Chromium|"chrome"]] finish.  Similar to the [[1998 Bowman Chrome]] set, card fronts featured the player photo slightly off-center and the nameplate below.  Contrary to the 1998 design, the facsimile of the player's signature from their original Topps contract was on the right side for this year.


Rookie Cards include Pat Burrell, Carl Crawford, Adam Dunn, Rafael Furcal, Freddy Garcia, Tim Hudson, Nick Johnson, Austin Kearns, Corey Patterson and Alfonso Soriano.

254 Edgar Renteria 
===Unnumbered Proofs===


255 Bartolo Colon 
Gold Refractors and International Refractors without serial-number stamps exist. These cards were were obtained from the Topps Vault or former employees and sold on the secondary market. Unnumbered proofs are common for ‘98 and ‘99 Topps/Bowman baseball products (Bowman, Bowman Chrome, Finest) due to former Topps employees selling off uncut sheets/proofs from the Topps Vault in the late-2000s. Fortunately, as of August 2019, no 1999 Gold Refractors with counterfeit stamps have surfaced as they did in [[1998_Bowman_Chrome#Counterfeits|the 1998 product]].

Description

1999 Bowman Chrome was a 440-card set issued in two separate 220-card series. The set again paralleled the 1999 Bowman set and was printed on chromium 18-pt. stock. Series Two was produced smaller quantities that the first.

Cards looked identical to the 1999 Bowman set but featured its staple "chrome" finish. Similar to the 1998 Bowman Chrome set, card fronts featured the player photo slightly off-center and the nameplate below. Contrary to the 1998 design, the facsimile of the player's signature from their original Topps contract was on the right side for this year.

Rookie Cards include Pat Burrell, Carl Crawford, Adam Dunn, Rafael Furcal, Freddy Garcia, Tim Hudson, Nick Johnson, Austin Kearns, Corey Patterson and Alfonso Soriano.

Distribution

Hobby boxes contain 24 packs, with 4 cards per pack.

Unnumbered Proofs

Gold Refractors and International Refractors without serial-number stamps exist. These cards were were obtained from the Topps Vault or former employees and sold on the secondary market. Unnumbered proofs are common for ‘98 and ‘99 Topps/Bowman baseball products (Bowman, Bowman Chrome, Finest) due to former Topps employees selling off uncut sheets/proofs from the Topps Vault in the late-2000s. Fortunately, as of August 2019, no 1999 Gold Refractors with counterfeit stamps have surfaced as they did in the 1998 product.
