2006 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects

From BaseballCardPedia.com

Description

2006 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects is a 55-card set supplemented by a 65-card Draft Picks and a 45-card Futures Game "inserts." 2006 was the first year of the MLBPA's new rookie card rules (i.e. a player had to appear in a Major League game before appearing on a "rookie card"), and as such many of the players that would have had their true rookie card in a product like Bowman Draft were relegated to the two insert sets.

As usual, the Chrome edition is bundled into the product with each pack containing two Chrome cards. In addition, 25 additional Autographed Draft Picks were tacked onto the end of the Chrome Draft Picks subset.

Notable signers include Clayton Kershaw and Evan Longoria.

Distribution

24 packs per box, 7 cards per pack

Look for (1) Autograph Card and (1) Game-Used Memorabilia Card per box on average. Look for Exclusive Bowman Prospect Cards and Futures Game Relic Cards.

Each pack delivers (2) Bowman Rookies, (1) Bowman Chrome Rookie, (2) Bowman Prospect Cards, (1) Bowman Chrome Prospect Card, and (1) Parallel Card.
