Description
2010 Bowman was released to The Hobby on May 10, 2010. The set features 220 cards and a 110 card Prospect "insert" set. Each Hobby box will yield one on-card autograph, and each HTA box three -- although some Hobby boxes have been known yield as many as four autographs, while other none at all. New this year are three different insert sets: "1992 Bowman Throwbacks," "Topps 100 Prospects," and "Bowman Expectations."
2010 Bowman featured the first MLB-licensed cards (but not true rookie cards) of Stephen Strasburg, Aroldis Chapman, and Andrew Cashner. On the initial checklist issued by Topps, Strasburg, Chapman, and Cashner did not appear in the Bowman Prospects insert set; however, all three were added at the last minute.
On March 3, 2010, Topps acquired an exclusive license with USA Baseball, and 2010 Bowman set will include cards of the 2009 Collegiate National Team and the 2009 18U National Team. Bryce Harper, the player that later went on to be the #1 pick in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft, was included in the 18U National Team set.
Shortly after 2010 Bowman's release, the after-market value of unopened wax skyrocketed with Hobby boxes selling for $180 (7/2010) and HTA boxes for as much as $320 (7/2010). This was due to the pent-up demand for new product in the first year of Topps' exclusive license, and the top-notch rookie, prospect, and autograph checklist -- including the first certified autograph of Stephen Strasburg.

In order to placate collectors who have seen the secondary-market value of 2010 Bowman Chrome plummet, on November 5th, 2010, Topps announced a wrapper redemption offer. It is similar to the wrapper redemption offer in 2010 Topps Chrome, except Topps did not announce the Bowman Chrome program until after the product's release.
In exchange for a full Hobby box's worth of 2010 Bowman Chrome wrappers (18), Topps will send a pack of five black-bordered (non-Chrome) Bowman Prospect cards. The set will include all 110 prospects from 2010 Bowman.
Randomly inserted into these packs will be various Bowman Chrome autographs. Please see 2010 Bowman Chrome for more information on the autographs that were distributed in this promotion.
Bowman Chrome Prospect Cards
The first 110 Bowman Prospect inserts are available in the following Chrome parallels:
- Chrome (two-per-Hobby and six-per-HTA pack)
- Purple Refractor (numbered to 999, retail only)
- Chrome Refractor (numbered to 777)
- Blue Refractor (numbered to 250)
- Gold Refractor (numbered to 50)
- Orange Refractor (numbered to 25)
- Red Refractor (numbered to 5, Hobby and HTA Jumbo only)
- SuperFractor (one-of-one, Hobby and HTA Jumbo only)
- Printing Plates (four for each, HTA Jumbo only)
Each card number has a "BCP" prefix, and cards BCP89-BCP110 are also available in an autographed version (see below).
