2000 Bowman Chrome
Description
2000 Bowman Chrome is a 440-card parallel brand released in July, 2000. The first 140 cards feature veteran players, and the remaining 300 cards rookies and prospects. Like 2000 Bowman, the set reverted back to a single-series release.
Like the regular Bowman set, the prominent rookie cards are all pitchers: Ben Sheets, Carlos Zambrano, Francisco Rodriguez, Roy Oswalt, and Barry Zito.
Topps designated five prospects as Bowman Chrome "exclusives" whereby their only appearance in a Topps brand for the year 2000 would be in this set -- none of whom are particularly notable.
Distribution
Hobby/Retail: 24 packs per box, four cards per pack (MSRP: $3)

Rookies and Prospects (blues)
NOTE: Five cards from the 2000 Bowman base set were replaced with "Exclusive Rookies" for the Chrome edition. Those cards were: #159, #192, #259, #329, and #373. The five Exclusive Rookies were to be the only card of that player Topps would issue in 2000; however, Topps did include a card of Chin-Hui Tsao (#192) in 2000 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects. So much for that idea.
