    Here is what we received in our box

    Box Topper



    I like the idea that every box top has an additional hit as opposed to a colored refractor card like in past years. We pulled a Jason Heyward/Mike Stanton Dual Bat Jersey #/199.

    Rookies



    The rookie cards as always have a very nice design on chome technology. We pulled a Stephen Strasburg, Domonic Brown Refractor #/199, and Josh Bell Black Refractor #/25.


    MLB Future Stars



    The Gold Refractors really stand out on the cards this year. We pulled 9: Yonder Alonso, J. J. Hoover, J. D. Martinez, Steven Hensley, Bryan Mitchell, Jerry Sands, Wil Myers, Tyler Chatwood Refractor #/199, and Wil Myers Gold Refractor #/50.

    Relic Cards



    This year the relics are all of USA prospects, which is a nice change from veterans in past years. We pulled 6: Nick Ramirez, Daniel Camarena, Henry Owens, Tony Wolters, Dillon Maples, and Noe Ramirez Refractor Dual Jersey #/199.


    Autograph Cards



    We pulled 2 Rookie Autographs: Danny Valencia and Daniel Hudson.



    We were lucky enough to pull an Aroldis Chapman Autograph which is one of my favorites pulls of the box. We pulled 10 Prospect Autographs: Drew Pomeranz, John Singleton, Chance Ruffin, Hayden Simpson, Aroldis Chapman, Jameson Taillon, Delino DeShields, Chris Sale, Aaron Miller Refractor #/199, and Aaron Miller Gold Refractor #/50.

    Dual USA Autographs



    We were lucky enough to pull 2 Dual Autographs: Albert Almora/Marcus Littlewood and Jason Esposito/Sean Gilmartin Gold Refractor #/50.

    Final Thoughts

    Bowman Sterling is always fun to bust with multiple autograph/game used cards per pack and up to 20 hits per box! This product is ideal for collectors who want a ton of hits in a box. We pulled several very nice hits including an Aroldis Chapman Autograph. Topps improves their Bowman Sterling product every year and this release is no different. I cant wait to see what the future holds for Bowman Sterling Baseball products.

            The Sterling Autographs are really great looking cards.

            Really a nice set of cards all-the-way around.

                  Nice looking cards. I'm not sure I'm into the whole only rookie thing. I like the chance of geting established players. The looks and the cards are nice. What is the price for these things? I guess with that many hits your bound to get something. I give it a 4

                      I always like the look of these cards.

                      And the cards stock they are on is very sturdy.

                          Those are sweet cards, already picked up the bradley jr./cole dua auto on ebay for like $20.
                          All cards I have are in EX or better condition (unless noted). I expect the same.

                          Please check this ebay link, new items always being listed http://shop.ebay.com/badago76/m.html...286.m570.l1537

                            Holy cow, that is an incredible amount of hits from one box of cards. This product is gorgeous, as always. I just wish I knew the players pulled a little better. Need to get back into prospects, I guess? This must have been what you'd call a rookie hot box? Seems like it. Thanks for the great review, and thanks very much to Topps for allowing us the opportunity to bust, and review their fine products.

                              This actually wasn't a hot box.. The normal product has upwards of 20 or more hits!
