When Topps released the product, there were some card numbering changes from the checklists inserted in packs to the numbering actually printed on the base card backs. They are:

Steve Cishek - inserted Bowman checklist BCP218 - actually has no number on back
Ryan Tatusko - inserted Bowman checklist BCP211 - actually is numbered BCP127,

thus making two cards numbered BCP127 (Gustavo Pierre the other)

Cory Riordan - inserted Bowman checklist BCP202 - actually is numbered BCP218
Brock Hart - inserted Bowman checklist BCP171 - actually is numbered BCP201
Chris Owings - inserted Bowman checklist BCP217 - actually is numbered BCP202
Rob Scahill - inserted Bowman checklist BCP201 - actually is numbered BCP204
Wade Gaynor - inserted Bowman checklist BCP204 - actually is numbered BCP211
There are no actual cards numbered BCP171 or BCP217 on the back

Bowman's Best Prospects

This 25 card set is done in the style of the 1994 Bowman's Best set, and is sequentially-numbered as an extension of the set inserted into packs of 2011 Bowman.

Like the '94 set, the 50 Bowman's Best inserts that were included in 2011 Bowman were sequentially-numbered as two distinct sets (i.e. BB1-BB25 and BBP1-BBP25). The 25 cards to be inserted in Bowman Chrome begin at card #BBP51. At the present time, it is unclear if Topps is planning producing cards #BBP26-50 for a future product, or if the Bowman Chrome series will be renumbered.

Each card is also available in these Hobby exclusive parallels.
