Ever busted a box of Bowman Baseball and gotten an autograph you knew was less-than-stellar and was never going to amount to much? Sure, there have been some great ones over the years, but for many, missing on the lone signature has been a letdown. While not every player is going to be a superstar, 2016 Bowman Draft Baseball is adding to the number of autographs per box to lessen the chances of a one-off skunking.

Revamped 2016 Bowman Draft Baseball hobby boxes have more of a jumbo feel to them, delivering three autographs versus the traditional one. The packs are bigger to, coming in at 32 cards each. These break down to 23 Bowman cards, seven Bowman Chrome and a pair of Refractors.



Base Set

As with recent years, there’s a huge focus on the year’s draft in the product. This carries over to not just the autographs, but the main set as well.

The 2016 Bowman Draft base set has 200 cards, mixing both 2016 draft picks and other prospects. All cards come with regular or paper Bowman and Bowman Chrome versions. And within those are their own mix of parallels.

• Green
• Gold
• Orange – /25
• Red – /5
• Black – 1/1

Autographs

The majority of 2016 Bowman Chrome Draft Baseball signatures are Chrome Draft Pick Autographs. These are the first MLB autograph cards for these players. For most, these will go down as their key cards.

The rainbow here starts with basic numbered Refractors before delving into color-specific versions: Purple Refractors, Blue Refractors, Green Refractors, Gold Refractors, Orange Refractors (/25), Red Refractors (/5) and Superfractors (1/1). These are also serial numbered. Wave Refractor parallels are also available for autographs.

Randomly inserted are 2016 Bowman Draft Baseball hot packs that have seven signed cards switched out for the Bowman Chrome base cards. These are done as exclusive Black Refractors.

The product has signatures in a couple of other places as well. Draft Night Autographs feature players taken in the June draft with images from the night. All are numbered as are the Gold, Red (/5) and Superfractor (1/1) parallels.

The line of All-America Game Autographs continues. These cards were originally signed back when the players were still in high school offering some of their earliest signatures. Gold Framed parallels are all one-of-ones.

Inserts

2016 Bowman Draft Baseball has a few additional insert sets. MLB Draft History looks to the past with a checklist of retired players. These have Gold, Red (/5) and Superfractor (1/1) parallels. Select players have autographed versions as well.

Draft Dividends looks at players who entered the draft fresh out of high school. These have the same parallel structure as MLB Draft History, including autographs.

Bowman Scouts’ Fantasy Impact spotlights players collectors may want to keep an eye on when it comes to their fantasy leagues.

Top of the Class cards aren’t found in packs. Rather, they’re randomly inserted over-sized box toppers.

2016 Bowman Draft Baseball at a glance:

Packs per box: 12
Cards per pack: 32
Boxes per case: 8
Set size: 200 cards
Release date: December 7, 2016

What to expect in a hobby box:

Sure hope those Black Ref Autos found in Hot Packs are numbered.....it doesn't mention if they are or not.

When are they going to announce that regular, racks, super jumbo, blasters and vending will be Japan exclusives thereby killing usa jumbo odds?

This is the best news I've heard in a long time for an upcoming Bowman product.

I wish they'd do this for all Bowman products. Assuming of course, the PR hasn't been jacked up accordingly.

If the CL is good, I'll be buying several cases.

this looks great

This is the well-known "initial reaction" phase, where people's initial reaction to the sell sheets make them buy in at high prices.

It too shall pass.

The quality of the draft crop as a whole, plus the unknown CL make it a high gamble at that price point.

If you were to just make a guess on who you thought the biggest seller of this draft class would be who'd you have (assuming they make it on the CL)?
