2010 Bowman Chrome
Description
2010 Bowman Chrome Baseball arrived on November 2, 2010, about two months later than usual. Each 18-pack Hobby box will include at least one autograph, and each four-card pack include two Prospects and two veteran/rookies. The autograph checklist will consist of 40 prospects who did not appear in 2010 Bowman, as well as Stephen Strasburg.
The 220-card Chrome set will consist of 180 veterans (reds) and 40 rookies (greens), and 110 Chrome Prospects.
The Topps 100 Prospects insert set from 2010 Bowman will return in Bowman Chrome, as will USA Baseball with the 2010 18U National teams.
Each 18-pack Hobby box should yield four USA Baseball, three Topps 100, one autograph, and seven Refractors per box.
Several people close to the source believe that roughly 10,000 cases were produced.
Inclusion of Razor exclusive players
2010 Bowman Chrome was to mark the first Topps cards of Brett Wallace, Yonder Alonso, and Tim Beckham. All three players were drafted in 2008, and all three signed exclusive three-year autograph contracts with Razor Entertainment -- contracts that have an "out" clause once they make their Major League debuts. According to an e-mail sent by Razor's Brian Gray to Freedom Card Board, all three player's rights are still held by Razor -- even though Razor, technically, no longer exists. While it was expected that Wallace and Alonso will be called-up by the end of the 2010 season (and therefore, allowed to be included in 2010 BowChro), Beckham was expected to remain in the minors.
On July 12, Topps notified The Hobby that the three Razor-exclusive players would not have cards in 2010 Bowman Chrome.
Wrapper Redemption Offer
In order to placate collectors who have seen the secondary-market value of 2010 Bowman Chrome plummet, on November 5th Topps announced a wrapper redemption offer. It is similar to the wrapper redemption offer in 2010 Topps Chrome, except Topps did not announce the Bowman Chrome program until after the product's release.
In exchange for a full Hobby box's worth of wrappers (18), Topps will send a pack of five black-bordered Bowman Prospect cards. The set will include all 110 prospects from 2010 Bowman. Also included will be a 37-card USA Baseball black-bordered Chrome autograph set where all cards will be limited to just 25 copies.
Also part of the packs will be five autographed Chrome Rookies & Prospects autographs, each limited to 100. The players will include Buster Posey, Mike Stanton, Mike Moustakas, Miguel Sano and Dustin Ackley.
The USA buybacks — which include the highly touted Harper’s first certified Topps autograph released to the public — were not included in Bowman Chrome packs because of a production error, according to Topps, so they will be part of this program.
