Bowman Goes Sterling
Topps is taking the Bowman brand line to heights it has never seen before – that of $50-per-pack super high premium status for a new line called Bowman Sterling.
Bowman Sterling is a new set and not a tricked-up copy of Bowman or Bowman Chrome. It will feature completely different card images and a price point that places it among the luxury sets on the market.
“We’ve been continually asked by Bowman collectors about creating a high-end Bowman product,” Topps spokesman Clay Luraschi says. “Now we’re pleased to announce 2004 Bowman Sterling. This product’s collectibility and value per pack and box will be unparalleled in the hobby.”
Bowman Sterling will be available just before Christmas, with a December 20th release date. Each $50 pack will contain five cards – 2 Rookie Cards, 1 Veteran Relic, 1 Autographed Rookie Card and 1 Rookie or Prospect Autographed Relic Card.
The rest of the Bowman Sterling lineup:
Base Cards - 140
Rookie Cards (50) – There will also be a Rainbow Refractor parallel version #’d to 199
Veteran Relics (50) – There will also be a Rainbow Refractor parallel #’d to 199
Autographed Rookie Cards (15) – There will also be Rainbow Refractor parallels #’d to 199
Autographed Relic Rookie Cards (15) – There will also be Rainbow Refractor parallels #’d to 199
Autographed Relic Prospects (10) – Look for Rainbow Refractor parallels #’d to 199
Encased Boxloaders – One of the items below will appear in every box:
Black Parallel (140) – Rainbow Refractor parallel versions #’d to 25 and encased
Red 1-of-1 Parallel (140) – Rainbow Refractor parallel versions #’d 1 of 1 and encased
Bowman Originals (5) –Original Bowman Chrome cards that have been repurchased, autographed and encased

Just more "wax gambling". Hell at least $50 on a football game gives you 3 hours of entertainment.

edit to add: stevek what's your opinion on expensive packs of cards? You like baseball cards, but dislike gambling. It seems like a conflict of interest here.

How would someone obtain the base cards if each pack contains the 5 cards listed above? Not that anyone spending $50 would want a base card--but do they sell the base set on the side as a seperate item if wanted? Just curious...
Or maybe they will have a wrapper redemption, lol. 10 wrappers gets you the base set.
Done! Haven't dealt/bought anything from him personally, but saw/read all the stuff he pulled. Thanks Roach.
