Description
2020 Bowman Next (stylized as "Bowman NEXT") is a series of on-demand, printed-to-order, trading card sets issued by Topps. All Bowman NEXT cards 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.

The 2020 Bowman NEXT Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects was released in four, fifteen-card "waves." Each wave cost $40 and contains the entire fifteen card set and an autograph. Each "wave" was available for one week. Curiously, only 60 of the top 100 players are included in this set.
Wave One
770 Wave One sets were produced.
Wave Two
750 Wave Two sets were produced.
Wave Three
750 Wave Three sets were produced.
Wave Four

Autographs
Each set came with a randomly inserted autograph. In addition to the base autograph, each is also available in the following parallels.
- Red (serial-numbered to ten)
- Orange (serial-numbered to five)
- Gold (one-of-one)
Wave One
Although production figures were not released, we estimate that no more than 36 Wave One base autographs were produced.
Wave Two
We estimate that no more than 68 Wave Two base autographs were produced.
Wave Three
We estimate that no more than 59 Wave Three base autographs were produced.
Wave Four
We estimate that no more than 68 Wave Four base autographs were produced.

Parallels
Each set comes with three cards from the following parallels.
- Black (serial-numbered to 99 copies)
- Blue (serial-numbered to 49 copies)
- Purple (serial-numbered to 25 copies)
- Red (serial-numbered to ten)
- Orange (serial-numbered to five)
- Gold (one-of-one)
NOTE: Because of the low number of sets ordered, we believe that not all 99 Black parallels were distributed. Assuming that the Black parallels were printed and distributed last (e.g. all the other parallels were printed), we estimate that only 40 Black parallels were actually distributed.
Autographs
Each set came with one autograph serial-numbered to 99 copies. Each is also available in the following parallels.
- Blue (serial-numbered to 49 copies)
- Purple (serial-numbered to 25 copies)
- Red (serial-numbered to ten)
- Orange (serial-numbered to five)
- Gold (one-of-one)
