1991 Bowman wax box

Description

1991 Bowman is a 704 single series set (produced by Topps) which most notably features 166-rookie cards. Bowman is a prospect driven product that wasn’t branded as such officially until 1997 when “Home of the Rookie Card” appeared on the boxes.

The most prominent rookie cards are of Jeff Bagwell, Chipper Jones, Ivan Rodriguez, Mike Mussina and Jim Thome. However, since virtually every card company also had these players in their set their Bowman rookie cards are valued and sought after the least.

Most of the other rookie card players had either completely indistinguishable brief careers or never appeared in a major league game (Noted in checklist)

1991 Bowman is the final year they use the brown ‘cardboard’ paper stock of the 1953-1955 Bowman sets.

The set opens up with a 5-card subset tribute to Rod Carew in light of his 3000 career hits. Another subset of note is the Silver Slugger Award Winners. This is the first time that a card company devoted cards to recognizing this award that had be handed out since 1980.

The card fronts are non-glossy and feature a color player photograph with a white border. The card backs are unfinished, mostly horizontal, and feature the player stats against opposing teams in 1990. This is one of the earliest major issue sets to feature gold leaf on some cards, for example, the Carew tribute and the Silver Slugger cards.
