2002 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects

Description

Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects is a 165-card set released by Topps in December, 2002. Much like it's sister-product Topps Traded and Rookies the year before, "BDP&P" was distributed exclusively in pack form and bundled together with a Chrome edition for the first time. Each seven-card pack contained four BDP&P cards, one Gold parallel, and two Bowman Chrome parallels.

Some of the more prominent rookie cards include: Cole Hamels, Matt Cain, Joey Votto, Zack Greinke, and Curtis Granderson.

The Chrome set contains ten additional cards which all came autographed; however, none of the players who signed panned out.

Distribution

24 packs per box, seven cards per pack (MSRP: $2.99). 10 boxes per case.

Parallels

All 165 cards are available in a one-per-pack Gold parallel. This set is printed on a thicker gauge of cardstock and can be seen as an anti-pack searching decoy. Each card features the player's facsimile autograph stamped in gold foil.

Chrome

Just like with 2001 Topps Traded & Rookies, Topps decided to "bundle" the Chrome version in with the standard edition of BDP&P. Each pack contained two Bowman Chrome DP&P cards.

Each of the 165 Chrome base cards are also available in the following Refractor parallels.

• Refractor (serial-numbered to 300 copies)
• X-Fractor (serial-numbered to 150 copies)
• Gold Refractor (serial-numbered to 50 copies)

Chrome Autographs

Ten additional autographed cards were added as an extension to the Chrome version of the product and were seeded into packs at the rate of 1:45. These ten cards are NOT available in the standard BDP&P set and NOT available unautographed.

The set is notable for an autographed baseball card of Brandon Weeden, who a decade later would be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.

• BDP166 Scott Moore AU RC
• BDP167 Chris Gruler AU RC*
• BDP168 Joe Saunders AU RC
• BDP169 Jeff Francis AU RC
• BDP170 Royce Ring AU RC
• BDP171 Greg D. Miller AU RC*
• BDP172 Brandon Weeden AU RC*
• BDP173 Drew Meyer AU RC
• BDP174 Khalil Greene AU RC
• BDP175 Mark Schramek AU RC*

Refractors

Each of the ten Chrome Autographs are also available in the same three Refractor parallels as the rest of the base set.

NOTE: Unlike the Chrome base Refractors, the Chrome Autographed Refractors are NOT serial-numbered. It is believed that the production runs for the Chrome Autographed Refractor and X-Fractor sets is slightly higher than the serial-numbered Chrome Refractors, but the Chrome Autographed Gold Refractors is lower. We estimate the production runs for each Autographed Refractor set as follows.

• Refractor (estimated production of 350 copies)
• X-Fractor (estimated production of 175 copies)
• Gold Refractor (estimated production of 35 copies)
