Description

2003 Bowman Chrome is a 352-card set released by Topps in July, 2003. The first 330 cards parallel the 2003 Bowman base set. The next 21 cards (#331-#350) make up a Chrome-exclusive Autographed First Year Player subset. The final card in the set (#351) is a card of Willie Mays -- whom Topps signed to exclusive autograph contract earlier in the year -- that was distributed in a Hobby-exclusive box-topper pack.

Also included in each Hobby only box topper pack was one Gold Refractor serial-numbered to 170 copies, and a redemption card good for an Uncirculated Blue Refractor. The Blue Refractors were part of a tie-in with thepit.com, which was owned by Topps at the time. The Blue Refractor card expired on November 30, 2005.

Distribution

Hobby: 18 packs per box, 4 cards per pack (MSRP: $4). 12 boxes per case.

Retail: 24 packs per box, 3 cards per pack
