Frequently asked
What makes 2020 Bowman 1st Edition different from regular 2020 Bowman?
1st Edition is a limited early release that only includes the 150 prospects from the main set, each stamped with a 1st Edition logo. It released April 22, 2020, before the full Bowman product dropped. The design is identical to regular Bowman, but the 1st Edition stamp adds exclusivity.
Who are the key rookies to chase?
Bobby Witt Jr. (BFE-25) and Jasson Dominguez (BFE-8) are the marquee prospects. Both have become major league stars, making their 1st Bowman cards highly sought. Other notable prospects include Adley Rutschman, Julio Rodriguez, and Gunnar Henderson.
How do the parallels work?
There are seven parallel tiers. Sky Blue (1:2 packs) is the most common. Blue (/150) through Orange (/25) are numbered parallels at various print runs. Red (/5) and Platinum (1/1) are the chase parallels. Each parallel has its own pull rate listed in packs.
What are the autograph odds?
Autographs land at 1:310 packs, which works out to roughly one per case (12 boxes). They're tough pulls and come with the 1st Edition foil stamp. Topps didn't publish a full autograph checklist, but signatures cover several prospects from the main set.
Is this product still worth opening?
That depends on your budget and goals. Hobby boxes are pricey (around $235-300 on the secondary market). If you're chasing Bobby Witt or Jasson Dominguez base cards or parallels, the odds are reasonable. Autographs are rare, so don't expect one unless you're lucky.
How many cards are in a box?
Each box has 24 packs with 10 cards per pack, for a total of 240 cards. Since the set is only 150 cards, you'll get duplicates, but you'll also hit multiple parallels and potentially an autograph.
What are the best inserts in 2020 Topps Bowman 1st Edition?
Worth keeping an eye out for: Sky Blue Foil parallel (1:2 packs), Blue Foil parallel (1:10 packs), Red Foil parallel (1:279 packs), Platinum Foil parallel (1:1,375 packs), Chrome Autograph cards (1:310 packs).
When did 2020 Topps Bowman 1st Edition come out?
