Description

2008 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects is a 55-card set supplemented by a 110-card Prospects insert set, released by Topps November 25th, 2008. As has been standard for this product since 2002, the Chrome edition of the set was bundled into the product. Each seven card pack will yield four Bowman and two Bowman Chrome cards along with a Bowman Gold parallel.

The Chrome Prospects set also includes 18 Autographs. While the entry of Razor did dilute the quantity of Autographed Chrome Prospects, there are autographs of Buster Posey and Giancarlo (Mike) Stanton.

Distribution

Hobby: 24 packs per box, seven cards per pack (MSRP: $3).
