Frequently asked
Who's 2023 Topps Bowman 's Best for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.

How many autographs come in a hobby box?
You'll pull 3 autographs per hobby box on average. These come from the Best of 2023 set (100+ signers), 1992 Bowman by Randy Johnson, Family Tree Dual/Triple Autographs, or standard Dual Autographs.
What's the deal with the 1992 Bowman by Randy Johnson insert?
It's a retro throwback to 1992 Bowman with a twist: the photos were shot by Hall of Famer Randy Johnson, who was a legendary pitcher in the 1990s and is also an accomplished photographer. You'll find one roughly every 6 packs, and some versions are autographed.
How do the refractor parallels work?
Every base and prospect card has a refractor parallel at 1 per pack. Beyond that, there are 13 additional numbered parallels ranging from /299 down to 1/1 Superfractors. Wave Refractors are the rarest non-1/1 parallel at 1 per box.
