2016 Bowman Inception
Description
2016 Bowman Inception was released the week of July 6th. Again, as is standard for this brand, there is no "base" set in the traditional sense and all cards are autographed. New for 2016, is the inclusion of a limited number of veteran players.
Each five card pack contains four (on-card) autographs and an autographed (sticker) relic card.
This would be the final Bowman-branded Inception set for five years, as the brand would be renamed Topps Inception the following year.
Distribution
Five cards per box (MSRP: $80). Eight boxes per case. Hobby only.
