Jaypers · 12-02-2025, 04:17 PM

At long last, we have information. No checklist yet.

https://www.topps.com/pages/bowman-draft-baseball

Presells begin Mon 12/15.

Collect the game’s newest stars as they make their first Bowman appearance, featuring the top draft picks and future talent from the 2025 MLB® Draft. The 200-card Base Set showcases draft standouts and top prospects from across the MLB Pipeline, available on both paper and Chrome® stock with a full lineup of Refractor and border parallels to chase.

New this year, collectors will discover Crystallized, Prized Prospects and Axis inserts alongside returning favorites like Bowman In Action, and Draft Night, plus a special Dream Draft Pick card that imagines a legendary athlete, originally drafted by an MLB team, in an alternate baseball timeline.

Every configuration delivers Chrome® Prospect Autographs, including Gold Ink Variations, Dual Signatures, and limited Achromatic Autographs that bring fresh design innovation to Bowman’s signature style.

Exclusive to Hobby boxes, Bowman Variety Packs add playful refractor patterns like Gum Ball, Sunflower Seeds, and Pop Corn Chrome® cards, while the new Bowman Draft Mega Box debuts with exclusive Mega Chrome technology, Laser Refractors, and Mega Autographs for a vibrant new way to collect.

From Hobby to Mega, every rip offers color, excitement, and the authentic Bowman promise, the first place to find the game’s future.

That write up says: from hobby to mega. Does that mean they’re going to sell mega boxes of this? This was the one product that they didn’t offer retail of.

Correct.

awz50 · 12-02-2025, 04:31 PM

Finally.

boxbuster7 · 12-02-2025, 04:32 PM

wonder which AI they used to write that...

Jaypers · 12-02-2025, 04:38 PM

If I'm not mistaken, this product is hitting retail for the first time since 2011.

cbeauch87 · 12-02-2025, 05:02 PM

Ok I will definitely be buying Draft retail to open.

Stech36 · 12-02-2025, 05:06 PM

Oh man, that really hurts the value of hobby. Print run just went up what, like 300% if not more?

Keep in mind we've yet to get confirmation of these. The only retail SKU known as of right now is Megas.

That's why I said "should"

PoPCulture · 12-02-2025, 05:23 PM

Good to see that they changed from the open ended hang tab on the In Action inserts. This should help considerably with condition issues.

IamRalpho · 12-02-2025, 05:37 PM

If the pre order is 12.15 when do we expect a release date?

It's usually a month later.

Osfan81 · 12-02-2025, 06:27 PM

With other products recently, presale is 1 month exactly but then they delay it two weeks, so anywhere between 4 and 6 weeks basically. I'm nervous if they are producing megas. The one year they did Bowman Draft Lite boxes. They put exclusive autos in that. I'm just hoping that they don't dilute the autos out of this. But, knowing Topps, they probably will. They reduced autos in chrome, so I fully expect them to reduce the autos in this from 3 & 5 to 1 & 3 and then claim that they dropped the price by $100 when they actually raised the price per auto. Typical shrinkflation move by Topps. That's my expectation anyway...let's see if it comes true.

Thanks, I never look at pre-sales, and I guess didnt realize they were that much of a thing?

January breaks boys!

Sticker autos in draft? Hard Pass..

Nothing new, in almost all of the bowman products, insert autos have stickers.

rwperu34 · 12-03-2025, 01:29 AM

I wish they'd put actual photos on the cards instead of cartoons.

PeteD · 12-03-2025, 02:57 AM

I want that Crystallized JoJo!

Can’t wait for the 100 caser!

Boredlawyer · 12-03-2025, 09:47 AM

Early returns on Holliday aren't great, but still surprised he's not featured. Maybe he's held back to 2026 Bowman.

Yeah I was hoping he’d be in draft but it makes sense they’d hold him back for ‘26 bowman.
