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.  


An unannounced Hideki Irabu card (number 221) was added late to the Series One set, but was produced at the same rate as any other Series One base card. 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.
Rookie Cards in this set include Adrian Beltre, Kerry Wood, Brad Penny, and Eric Chavez in the first series; and Roy Halladay, Aramis Ramirez, Miguel Tejada, Vernon Wells, Jayson Werth, and Lance Berkman in Series Two.  An unannounced Hideki Irabu card (#221) was added late to the Series One set, but was produced at the same rate as any other Series One base card.

Please note that cards 155 and 158 don't exist. Calvin "Pokey" Reese and George Arias are both numbered 156 (Reese is an uncorrected error - should be numbered 155). Chris Carpenter and Eric Milton are both numbered 159 (Carpenter is an uncorrected error - should be numbered 158).

For the second year, Topps offered collectors to purchase an option to buyback their complete sets. To get the guarantee, collectors had to mail in the Guaranteed Certificate Request Form which was found in every three packs of either series along with a $5 registration and processing fee. To redeem the guarantee, collectors had to send a complete set of Bowman regular cards (441 cards in both series) along with the certificate to Topps between August 31st and December 31st, 2000.  Topps would then send the collector a check for $125.

Description

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.

Rookie Cards in this set include Adrian Beltre, Kerry Wood, Brad Penny, and Eric Chavez in the first series; and Roy Halladay, Aramis Ramirez, Miguel Tejada, Vernon Wells, Jayson Werth, and Lance Berkman in Series Two. An unannounced Hideki Irabu card (#221) was added late to the Series One set, but was produced at the same rate as any other Series One base card.

Please note that cards 155 and 158 don't exist. Calvin "Pokey" Reese and George Arias are both numbered 156 (Reese is an uncorrected error - should be numbered 155). Chris Carpenter and Eric Milton are both numbered 159 (Carpenter is an uncorrected error - should be numbered 158).

$125 Guarantee

For the second year, Topps offered collectors the right to purchase an option that, when exercised, would allow collectors to sell a complete 441-card 1997 Bowman Baseball set back to Topps for $125 -- an increase of $25 from the year before. To get the option, collectors had to mail in the Guaranteed Certificate Request Form which was found in every three packs of either series along with a $5 registration and processing fee. Topps would then send back a serial-numbered certificate.

To exercise the buyback option, collectors had to send a complete 1997 Bowman base set along with the certificate to Topps between August 31st and December 31st, 2000. Topps would then mail the collector a check for $125.

Distribution

24 packs per box, ten cards per pack.

    This 90-card set features top prospects with on-card autographs with the Topps Certified Autograph Issue Stamp. All cards are available in three different color parallels.

    • Blue Ink
    • Black Ink
    • Gold Ink

    The Blue Ink cards are the easiest to find while the Golds are the scarcest.

    NOTE: In addition to signing Blue, Black, and Gold Ink Autographs, Derek Jeter (#CA41) also signed a Green Ink card -- the only player to do so. Jeter's Blue Ink Autograph is exclusive to Series One packs while the Green Ink is only in Series Two. Black and Gold Ink Jeter Autographs were inserted into both series packs.
