2010 Bowman retail box

Description

2010 Bowman was released to The Hobby on May 10, 2010. The set features 220 cards and a 110 card Prospect "insert" set. Each Hobby box will yield one on-card autograph, and each HTA box three -- although some Hobby boxes have been known yield as many as four autographs, while other none at all. New this year are three different insert sets: "1992 Bowman Throwbacks," "Topps 100 Prospects," and "Bowman Expectations."

2010 Bowman featured the first MLB-licensed cards (but not true rookie cards) of Stephen Strasburg, Aroldis Chapman, and Andrew Cashner. On the initial checklist issued by Topps, Strasburg, Chapman, and Cashner did not appear in the Bowman Prospects insert set; however, all three were added at the last minute.

On March 3, 2010, Topps acquired an exclusive license with USA Baseball, and 2010 Bowman set will include cards of the 2009 Collegiate National Team and the 2009 18U National Team. Bryce Harper, the player that later went on to be the #1 pick in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft, was included in the 18U National Team set.

Shortly after 2010 Bowman's release, the after-market value of unopened wax skyrocketed with Hobby boxes selling for $180 (7/2010) and HTA boxes for as much as $320 (7/2010). This was due to the pent-up demand for new product in the first year of Topps' exclusive license, and the top-notch rookie, prospect, and autograph checklist -- including the first certified autograph of Stephen Strasburg.
