No mention of "exclusive", and it's a paper Bowman autograph (redemption), but it's still a good addition.

It's probably safe to assume he'll have a Chrome auto in Bowman Chrome this fall. Hopefully not a redemption. No mention of parallels either, so maybe it'll be as shortprinted as Lawrie and Hosmer were.

Topps is hoping its latest autograph acquisition leads to some moneyball for collectors.

The company announced on Friday that it has signed Oakland A’s outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to an autograph deal, meaning the promising Cuban star will appear in products beginning with 2012 Bowman.

In that set, Cespedes will have an standard card, but he also will appear in packs via a Bowman Lucky autograph redemption — he’s card No. 1 with two other big names to be announced at a later time.

Meanwhile, Cespedes also will have signed cards in Allen & Ginter, Bowman Platinum, Tier One, Finest and Topps Chrome, according to the company.

Not sure what a lucky redemption means. I'd prefer if they would have just handled this the way they did with Stras and Harper the last two years with bowman parallel autos as well then a Chrome auto in BC.

The real bummer here is that with Cespedes colored in green, he will be in the base bowman set only, not the chrome prospect set, and therefore the only parallels will be paper ones.

Probably a Bowman equivilent of the annual Finest redemptions.
