2020 Bowman Chrome Mega Box

Description

2020 Bowman Chrome Mega Box was released exclusively to Target stores in early June. As usual, the set is a parallel of the Bowman Chrome Prospects insert from Bowman Baseball, but with each card having a "tire-tread" Refractor pattern. Only 100 of the 150 Prospect cards are included.

Each Bowman Mega Box contains four packs of 2020 Bowman and two, five-card Mega Box-exclusive Chrome Prospects packs.

For the first time, a second series of Chrome Mega Boxes were released in October, paralleling the Hobby-only 2020 Bowman Chrome set. Not much is known about these boxes, yet.

Distribution

Bowman Series: Four 2020 Bowman packs, plus two five-card Mega Box packs per box (MSRP: $14.99). Exclusive to Target stores.

Chrome Series: Five, five-card 2020 Bowman Chrome packs, plus two five-card Mega Box packs per box (MSRP: $34.99). Available at Walmart and Meijer stores.
