1992 Bowman
Description
Considered one of the landmark baseball card sets of the 1990s, 1992 Bowman was released in August of that year. The set consists of 705 cards with 45 foil-stamped cards inserted at a rate of one per wax pack, two per jumbo pack, and five per 80-card "carton." These foil cards feature past and present Team USA players and minor league POY Award winners.
After a disastrous 1989 debut, a lackluster 1990 effort, and an improved 1991 offering, Topps upgraded the 1992 version of Bowman to place it (quality wise) on par with their Stadium Club brand. All cards were printed on white, UV-coated cardstock, with full color fronts and backs. More importantly, Topps drastically cut production by printing '92 Bowman to order; a decision many dealers who threw away their order forms would later regret.
Although Topps began to position Bowman as their prospect-driven brand in 1991, it was in 1992 where Bowman earned the title "Home of the Rookie Card." '92 Bowman features true rookie cards of Trevor Hoffman, Carlos Delgado, Mariano Rivera, Mike Piazza, and Manny Ramirez, as well as second year cards of Pedro Martinez and Chipper Jones.
Distribution
