2015 Bowman's Best

From BaseballCardPedia.com

This article is about a set that is scheduled to be released in the near-future.
Some information may change as more facts become known.


Description

2015 Bowman's Best is a 100-card set supplemented with a 50-card Top Prospects insert, scheduled for release exclusively to Hobby outlets December 23rd. This marks the return of Bowman's Best after a eight year hiatus.

Much like how the original Bowman's Best was conceived as a hybrid of the Bowman and Finest brands, 2015 Bowman's Best can be seen as a hybrid of 2015 Bowman and 2015 Finest. Each Hobby box will contain two Finest-style six-pack mini-boxes, with each mini-box yielding two autographs.

Distribution

Two six-pack mini-boxes per Hobby box, five cards per pack. (MSRP: $55/mini-box) Eight boxes per case. Hobby only.
