2019 Bowman Next
Contents
Description
2019 Bowman Next is a series of four on-demand, printed-to-order, trading card sets issued by Topps in late 2019. All three sets were distributed similarly to the Topps Now cards, and can be seen as a way to bring the Topps Now model to the Bowman Brand.
Bowman Next
This fifteen-card set features highlights and participants in the 2019 Arizona Fall League (AFL). The AFL is MLB's annual showcase for the leagues top prospects. Like Topps Now, each card is a highlight from the previous day, and was only available for a 24-hour period. Each card cost $9.99. All players are depicted in their AFL jerseys.

Autographs
Collectors had the option of upgrading their team set by adding an autograph for an additional $50. Each of the six teams had two autographs and Topps guaranteed that collectors would receive an autograph of both players if they purchased two autographed team sets. Each card is serial-numbered to 99 copies and also available in the following parallels.
- Purple (serial-numbered to 49 copies)
- Blue (serial-numbered to 25 copies)
- Red (serial-numbered to ten)
- Orange (serial-numbered to five)
- Gold (one-of-one)
NOTE: Topps released the production figures for the aggregate number of unautographed and autographed team sets, but not the specific production figures for each set. Even assuming that all sets sold were of the autographed variety, it is obvious that most players did not come close to signing their full allotment of autographs. For example, a total of 76 Suprise Saguaros sets were sold -- meaning that both players only signed a maximum of 38 autographs (assuming all 76 sets sold had the autograph), well short of the 189 cards (99 + 49 + 25 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 189) they could have signed. It is unclear if each player signed all their allotted autographs, and if they did, what Topps did with the unsold ones.
