2012 Bowman blaster


A blaster of 2012 Bowman 'the home of the Rookie card'.
There are 220 cards in the base set.
There are a number of parallels of the base set available; red #/1, orange #/250, blue #/500, gold and international.
There are 110 cards in the prospect base set, which are available in both Bowman and Chrome plus a number of parallel versions; red #/1, orange #/250, green #/450, blue #/500 and purple.
Both base and prospects sets are available in a Silver ice and Red ice parallels.
There are Bowman Best and Boman Best prospects inserts which are available in Die Cut Refractor, X-fractor and Atomic Refractor parallel versions.
I won't go into the number of autograph/relic parallel versions available, as it just makes my head swim. There are a number of rookie autographs that are always highly sought after.
