2002 Bowman Heritage Base Card

A full color, grainy photograph is surrounded by a white border is displayed on the front of the card with either the player’s name in block letters or a facsimile signature on the bottom of the card. The back of the card features player biographical information and some 2001 and career statistics. The main change from the original 1954 Bowman design was a resizing from the original 2 5/8" X 3 3/4" card dimensions to the modern standard-sized of 2 1/2" X 3 1/2". Additionally the Bowman Heritage logo printed on the card front.

Although the set saddled with "rookie cards" of players who never played an inning in the Major Leagues (as noted by the "RC*" designation), 2002 Bowman Heritage includes rookie cards of David Wright, Jose Bautista and Joe Mauer.

NOTE: Two versions of the card number 66 exist, one of Pedro Martinez and the other of Nomar Garciaparra. This was done on purpose as homage to the original 1954 set that also had two versions of card #66 (Ted Williams and Jimmy Piersall).

Inserts

1954 Reprints

The only insert set was a series of 20 reprints from the original 1954 Bowman Set. Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Yogi Berra, Duke Snider, Whitey Ford, Eddie Mathews are the main highlights. The cards were resized to standard size otherwise they would have been oversized for the packs. The card number shown in the biographical box on the back of the card is the original card number from the 1954 Bowman set. The actual card number (which is actually the player's initials and not a "number") can be found along the edge of the card, beginning with the prefix BHR-.

As would be standard to come in all future Bowman Heritage releases, a game used Relics set was included in 2002 Bowman Heritage. A number of current players (veterans) were featured with Jersey and Uniform (i.e. pants) swatches inserted into packs at overall rates of 1:47 and 1:75/packs respectively. There were four different Uniform and seven different Jersey groups at differing rates. Most of these jersey and uniform swatches are single color swatches, but occasionally one is discovered with a pinstripe. No known patch cards have emerged.

The odds of finding a specific Relic are as follows.

  • Group A JSY: 1:1910

1954 Reprint Autographs

Following in the tradition of the 2001 Bowman Heritage set, six players featured in the 1954 Reprint insert set (see above) signed some copies of cards for insertion. The base 1954 Reprint Autographs were signed in blue ink and were seeded at the rate of 1:126/packs. Approximately 819 copies of each card were printed, but were not serial-numbered.

Similar to the Real One Autographs in Topps Heritage, a Special Edition Autograph parallel (signed in red ink) was also released. Each Special Edition Autograph was hand-numbered to 54 copies and seeded at the rate of 1:1910/packs.

NOTE: The Don Mueller and Dave Williams autographs in this set are their only certified autograph cards.
