Topps released a press release about the players that will be included in Bowman, and Topps Chrome and other products through their agreement with Team USA. It should be interesting because the original image released seems to hint that the one per case hit in Topps Chrome this year may not even be a chrome autograph. It may be a paper stock one akin to the AFLAC auto’s. This should be interesting to see how it plays out. On a personal note, I am happy to see a good friend of mine, and a great ball player Jason Esposito highlighted by Topps in their press release.
