	1997 Bowman is a 441-card set. For the first time, Bowman Baseball was released in two series (~~series one numbers~~ 1-221~~, series two numbers~~ 222-441). This was also the first year of the, now familiar, "Red/Blue" design convention. The 301 top prospects have blue borders while the 140 veteran stars are designated by red borders.		1997 Bowman is a 441-card set. For the first time, ''Bowman Baseball'' was released in two series (Series One: Cards 1-221; Series Two: 222-441). This was also the first year of the, now familiar, "Red/Blue" design convention. The 301 top prospects have blue borders while the 140 veteran stars are designated by red borders. Players that were featured for the first time on a Bowman card also carried a blue foil "1st Bowman Card" logo on the card front.
