1996 Bowman
Description
1996 Bowman is a 385-card set. For the first time, Bowman featured a full parallel and inserts, and each 11-card pack contained one of either.
The $100 Guarantee
As part of a promotion to boost sales, Topps offered collectors a $100 guarantee on their complete 1996 Bowman set. Randomly inserted into packs were Guaranteed Value Certificate request forms. Collectors who filled out the form and sent it to Topps (along with a $5 registration fee) before the December 31st, 1996 deadline would then receive a 1996 Bowman Guaranteed Value Certificate.
At anytime during a four-month window in 1999 (August 31st to December 31st, 1999), collectors could exercise their $100 Guarantee Value option by sending back to Topps a complete 385-card 1996 Bowman base set, and their Guarantee Value Certificate. Topps would then send the collector a check for $100.
Distribution
Hobby/Retail: 24 packs per box, 11 cards per pack (MSRP: $2.50).
