Parallels

Golden Anniversary

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bowman's debut set. Each card sports a gold-stamped facsimile autograph instead of the silver foil on the base and each card is numbered to 50.

Bowman International

Background image was replaced with a map of the area of where player was born. If the player came from a non english speaking territory the bio would be translated into that language instead.

Both sets parallel all 441 cards of the base set.
