2018 Bowman High Tek

From BaseballCardPedia.com

Description[edit]

2018 Bowman High Tek is a 56-card set released September 12th. All cards are printed on acetate with multiple background variations. Unlike the the previous year's product, a small selection of "true" rookie cards are included -- however, curiously, some players eligible to be RCs (e.g. Ronald Acuna, Jr. and Gleyber Torres) are still Prospects. Each ten-card box will yield four autographs and a parallel.

Distribution[edit]

Ten cards per box (MSRP: $110). 12 boxes per case. Hobby only.

NOTES:

  • As with the previous editions of the High Tek brand, there are ten different background patterns in 2018 Bowman High Tek.
  • Each pattern level is tiered.
  • As Pattern 1 is the most common, only Pattern 1 cards are "true" rookies.
  • Pattern 9 is known as the SpecTEKular Diffractor. Pattern 10 is also known as the Black Galatic Diffractor. Both Patterns 9 and 10 are ones-of-one.
