Looks like the third or fourth different Bowman 'Sterling' set.

I'd guess the price point will be too much for me to be interested, but they do look pretty nice.

4 Auto's per pack, must be pricey.

Also going to have sticker autos and the artsy design doesnt intrigue me, personally.
I'd put this product's future popularity somewhere between Platinum and Sterling.
edit: also counted 8 different parallels numbered 99 and below.
I'd be happy if Topps killed Platinum and replaced it with this.

As much as I like this, I have a feeling it's not going to sell very well because it's not chrome.

I personally am not real happy with any of the premium products that have come out this year. 5 star was a bomb, sterling is watered down and covered with scratches and triple threads was pretty good but sticker autos at that price. Idk I think I just like chrome and draft. I like finest on card autos also.

Maybe I'm just pissy because I open cases of stuff and hit garbage and other people open one box or a couple packs and hit 2500 dollar 1/1s multiple times.

We don't need more prospect autos. There's no reason each prospect should have a million autos every year. I mean how many different autos will a given prospect have before he even gets called up?

Dilutes the market with them making them less desirable in my opinion.

I'm a fan of the design, sort of a Topps Gallery type thing

I agree it's getting crazy. Almora has autos in 09-10 USA, 2010 Bowman Chrome, 2010 Bowman Chrome Draft, 2010 Bowman Sterling, 2011 Bowman Chrome, 2011 Bowman Sterling, 2011 USA, 2012 Bowman Chrome Draft, 2012 Bowman Sterling, 2012 Leaf Metal, 2012 Leaf Valient, and 2012 Leaf Ultimate and hasn't even played a full minor league season.

Yep but it generates a ton of money for Topps since the majority of these are going to be stickers.
Topps signs a prospect to a contract where they sign, let's say, 5,000 sticker autographs their first year of the deal.
After Topps releases their normal products which require stickers, like Sterling, they realize that they have 1500 left over.
What to do?
They make another product using those left over stickers, make the cards mostly paralleled and charge a high price.
I'm just sticking to what I know sells when buying now: chrome, elite, sterling and the occasional Leaf.

If this product replaces ANY issue other than another crazy srp pack or opening day, topps can go XXXX themselves!!!!!!!
Just what the hobby needs, more prospect autos & more $100 packs.
This obscenely long link below was not done by me.
