Pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg’s first signatures will show up in the 2010 Bowman baseball issue.
Topps promises that its exclusive deal with Washington Senators’ draftee Stephen Strasburg will include autographed cards in the 2010 Bowman series, a product that will also see some new innovations.
Aditions include an exclusive relic program and three new inserts.
The product will feature Relics, a 1992 Throwback Top 100 Prospects and Bowman Expectations.
Strasburg will join Dustin Ackley (2nd overall pick) and Donovan Tate (3rd overall pick) in the Bowman line. In addition, highly-touted Cuban pitching prospect Aroldis Chapman will make his first appearance on a baseball card in a Major League uniform.
Every Hobby Box guarantees 1 Chrome Autographed Prospect and every Jumbo Box guarantees 3 Chrome Autographs (1 prospect + 2 rookies).
