2013 Bowman Sterling - M L B
6 packs - 4 cards per pack
3 autos in every pack!!!
I received these:
3 base cards
Britton
Arcia
Walker - Bowman Sterling Prospect
One Parallel
Gyorko #ed to 199
This is a premium issue and one that is well done ( the cards are a bit dark for scanning, but in hand look great!) I doubt that I have ever said this before, but 3 base cards and 18 autos? WOW! I know that Topps collectors like to get autos and the collecting public has fewer fellers like me that put sets together for some strange reason - anyway - WOW!
The base cards have Sterling Stats, personal stats, and Rookie Revelations. The cards have a mirror finish (sterling!) and look very good. Nice design on the front - might want to move the team name somewhere else on the card for someone to be able to actually read it....
Inserts
Torii Hunter reprint
Hensley/Marrero - The Duel
Autos
2 Parallel Autos
Andrew Thurman #ed to 125
Austin Meadows #ed to 150

The autos - they are beautiful!!! On card and they all look great. There might be others, but from the autos I have ( I also purchased one box) only 3 have been stickers (unfortunately one of them is Wil Myers who has yet to learn how to write.... )
Many of these players, I personally have not heard of - yet. Hopefully, after being stored for a few years, one will find a few jewels in the pile. The rookie collector will go crazy with these cards - lots of rookies.
The only possible draw back might be the cost of the boxes - here in O'do, one is looking at, at the very least, $250 per box - a bit stiff, but one does receive 18 autos... excellent!
Overall grade A+ this might be one of the few issues that the commons are more valuable than the autos....
Go buy several boxes and send the Wil Myers cards to me - even though he can't write!
