To receive the free Bowman Sterling pack, collectors should mail their TttS cards to:

The Topps Company Sports & Entertainment Attn: Customer Support – 6th Floor 1 Whitehall Street New York, New York 10004-2109 Collectors will receive their TttS Autograph back along with the Bowman Sterling pack; however, the individual serial number will be registered and be ineligible from receiving another Bowman Sterling pack again.
