2007 Bowman Heritage hobby box

Description

2007 Bowman Heritage is a 301-card set, supplemented by a 100-card Prospects set, released by Topps in November, 2007. The base set mimics the design of the 1952 Bowman set, while the Prospects are based on the 1954 Red Heart dog food set.

Each pack will contain two Prospects and one parallel. Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield two game-used Relic cards and one autograph and two box toppers: One 2007 Topps A-Rod Road to 500 mirror insert and an oversized "Red Man" card.

After a seven year run, this would be the final Bowman Heritage set.

Distribution

Hobby: 24 packs plus one Red Man and one A-Rod Road to 500 card per box, eight cards per pack. 12 boxes per case.

No Signature Variations

Cards #181-#200 and #225-#250 are available in a short-printed variation in which the black facsimile signature on the front of the card has been removed. All of the cards are exactly the same as the base set card it parallels.

Mickey Mantle

In 2007, Topps regained the right to use Mickey Mantle. To fill "holes" in previously-released Bowman Heritage sets, Topps randomly inserted five Mantle cards on Bowman Heritage base card designs from 2001-2004.

1 Mickey Mantle 1952 Bowman (An exact reprint of the original 1952 Bowman Mantle, which itself was reprinted as an insert for 1996 Bowman)

2 Mickey Mantle 1948 Bowman (Mantle was still in high school in 1948 and does not have a card in 1948 Bowman. '48 Bowman was the basis of 2001 Bowman Heritage)

3 Mickey Mantle 1954 Bowman (A different photo and colored box on front than the original 1954 Bowman Mantle.)

4 Mickey Mantle 1956 Bowman "Third Version" (The original card does not exist as Bowman ceased production in 1955. Three pre-production layouts for a 56 Bowman set were created, but never printed or commercially distributed. These layouts were the inspiration of 2003 Bowman Heritage.)

5 Mickey Mantle 1955 Bowman (A different photo than original 1955 Bowman Mantle)
