Card #388 (Jake Mauer) packed out as an exchange card; however, the fulfilled card was sequentially-numbered #324.  Therefore, there are two cards in the set numbered #324, but none numbered #388.

20 players who signed for the Autographed Rookies subset (see above), had an unautographed version randomly inserted.  These cards look like any ordinary Bowman Chrome base card, in that, the "Certified Autograph Issue" logo in the upper-left corner on the front is replaced by a "Bowman Chrome" logo.  Also, the area where the player would have signed is covered by a facsimile signature -- just like all other base cards.

It is unknown why these cards exist and why they were inserted into packs. Although the cards are not serial-numbered, it is believed that less then 50 copies of each were produced.

Topps produced both autographed and unautographed versions of cards #403 and #404.  Unlike the Facsimile Autograph Variations (see above), the unautographed cards were produced in the same quantities as any other base rookie card -- that is, they are among the 165 "Blue" cards that were short-printed and seeded into packs at the rate of 1:3.

Inserted into each sealed Hobby box was a redemption card good for one "Uncirculated" Bowman Chrome parallel.  Collectors could claim their card by entering a code printed on the front of the redemption onto thepit.com -- a website Topps owned at the time -- and had until December 31st, 2002 to claim their parallel.  The Uncirculated card the collector received was chosen at random, as nowhere on the redemption card does it state the what you'd receive (you get whomever Topps and thepit.com sent you). 
 
Collectors could then keep their physical card with thepit.com and sell or trade it on that platform, or demand delivery for $5.10 shipping and handling.  Each card was encased in a plastic holder -- similar to an eTopps card.

NOTE: Card #388 (Jake Mauer) packed out as an exchange card; however, the fulfilled card was sequentially-numbered #324. Therefore, there are two cards in the set numbered #324, but none numbered #388.

The 20 players who signed for the Autographed Rookies subset (see above) had an unautographed version randomly inserted. These cards look like any ordinary Bowman Chrome base card, in that, the "Certified Autograph Issue" logo in the upper-left corner on the front is replaced by a "Bowman Chrome" logo. Also, the area where the player would have signed is covered by a facsimile signature -- just like all other base cards.

It is unknown why these cards exist and why they were inserted into packs. Although the cards are not serial-numbered, it is believed that less then 50 copies of each were produced.

Topps produced both autographed and unautographed versions of cards #403 and #404. Unlike the Facsimile Autograph Variations (see above), the unautographed cards were produced in the same quantities as any other base rookie card -- that is, they are among the 165 "Blue" cards that were short-printed and seeded into packs at the rate of 1:3.

The autographed versions of #403 and #404 were produced in smaller quantities than the other 20 Autographed Rookies (see above); however, are not considered "true" RCs, and a set is considered complete without them.

Inserted into each sealed Hobby box was a redemption card good for one "Uncirculated" Bowman Chrome parallel. Collectors could claim their card by entering a code printed on the front of the redemption onto thepit.com -- a website Topps owned at the time -- and had until December 31st, 2002 to claim their parallel. The Uncirculated card the collector received was chosen at random, as nowhere on the redemption card does it state the what you'd receive (you get whomever Topps and thepit.com sent you).

Collectors could then keep their physical card with thepit.com and sell or trade it on that platform, or demand delivery for $5.10 shipping and handling. Each card was encased in a plastic holder -- similar to an eTopps card.

Unautographed cards were serial-numbered to 350 copies, while the 20 Autographed Rookies and two Autographed Variations were numbered to ten.
