Description

2014 Bowman Chrome Mini is a 330-card mini-sized set released by Topps, exclusively as a factory set, to Hobby outlets on January 7th, 2015. As with the the previous year's product, the set contained a sampling of prospects and rookies from across the three 2014 Bowman "flagship" products" and does not contain any veteran Major Leaguers.

Because the Mini set is sequentially-numbered as a distinct 330-card set, these cards are not considered "parallels," but rather their own distinct set -- even though the design and photographs are essentially the same.

As with last year, each factory set will include 30 Refractor parallels. Each eight-set case is guaranteed, according to Topps, to include one set that will yield either a Printing Plate or a SuperFractor. On the initial product solicitations, Topps was threatening to include "image Variations" (e.g. Gimmicks), but thankfully they did not proceed.

Randomly seeded are sets where each card is a Black Shimmer Refractor.

We estimate that 1650, eight set cases were produced, for a total of 13,200 sets -- a near tripling of production compared to last year.

Distribution

Factory sets (MSRP: $165). Eight sets per case. Hobby only.
