2016 Bowman Draft is getting a configuration makeover. Set for release December 9, Topps has chosen the Jumbo route for Draft, packing 384 cards and at least three autograph cards into each regular Jumbo box and a whopping 120 cards into each Super Jumbo box.
Hot packs will have all seven of their Chrome base cards replaced with Black Refractor Autographs.
Each regular Jumbo pack of 2016 Bowman Draft will contain 23 regular cards, seven Chrome cards and two Chrome Refractor parallels. Each box, likely costing about $120 at retail, will have 12 packs.
Super Jumbos will have 120 cards (78 base, 33 Chrome base, 8 Refractors and one auto). There will be five packs per Super Jumbo box for a total of 600 cards. Super Jumbo boxes will likely start at around $165-$175.
Draft is the first product to show newly signed prospects in their big league uniform colors. This year, Topps will also focus on recalling past draftees, meaning we’ll get cards of some retired stars and Hall of Famers along with the youngsters.
