Bowman Chrome

<a href="https://imgur.com/WOLW4LV"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/WOLW4LV.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>

One master box, 2 mini boxes, each mini box 6 packs, each pack 5 chrome cards
One auto per mini box

I received the following:

Base / Chrome Prospects (BCP)

<a href="https://imgur.com/31Q5X1L"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/31Q5X1L.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>

23 base - 1-100

24 BCP -- 151-250

Following in the Bowman tradition, Chrome continued with the previous design and numbering from earlier this year. This issue is all chrome with no paper cards included.

The number of inserts is good ... approximately 1 per pack - either refractor, parallel, or other inserts. Should one want to build the set, I believe it would take a minimum of 5 master boxes and probably 6 to complete both the base set and the BCP set - just accounting for collation.

Parallel collectors/player collectors should have a number of parallels to chase - gold, blue, green, red, etc., along with crackles, autos (also in colors) and 1/1's.

Parallels/Inserts

One purple refractor - #ed to 250 - BCP - Pilkington

Devi Garcia - green refractor #ed to 99

Both autos are on card - blue Sharpee - both look excellent!

Overall grade - A

Go buy a bunch of master boxes and send the Rays inserts, parallels and autos to me!

Thanks for the review Duane. How is the chrome "curl"?

Brett

Brett - I don't have any on any of the chrome cards either the ones I received from Topps or any of the cards I have purchased here in O'do. I believe this problem has been pretty well fixed.

Have you seen it?

Good to hear. I stopped buying or collecting Chrome cards because of it. Glad they worked it out.
 
Very Nice Cards! Probably a case hit with the Garcia!

May have to try a box down the road.
