I expect this to continue this year with no retail formats. Retail formats are never really announced, but Topps has not done retail for Bowman Draft in recent memory, if ever. I have not seen prices posted anywhere for this, but it is probably between the Lite and Jumbo cost - perhaps in the $200 range if I had to guess. Lite Hobby box - no guaranteed hit, but guaranteed 5 Lite-exclusive Black & White RayWave refractor parallels and is roughly $150 pre-sale per box.Īsia Edition Hobby box - one guaranteed auto with exclusive Asia refractors - these have typically been the same thing as the mojo refractors you find in retail Mega boxes of Bowman Baseball and Bowman Chrome. Super Jumbo Hobby box - guarantees 5 autos and is roughly $600 pre-sale per box. ![]() Jumbo Hobby box - guarantees 3 autos and is roughly $400 pre-sale per box. The Invicta insert is another new one that tries to portray a high-end, classy feel, but looks boring and is a miss for me. The standard Franchise Futures multi-player insert is included and is getting more and more tired every year. Based on the sell sheet, the main insert I would be interested in without yet having them in hand yet is the new Genesis insert with its cosmos theme. In general Topps and Bowman inserts are not great, and for the most part, this axiom holds true in this release as well. Images of this refractor have started to surface as of Thursday, December 30th and with the Mini Diamonds being very popular, I expect the RayWaves to be as well. The new Lite configurations in 2021 for previous products have had exclusive Black & White Mini Diamond refractors, so this will be the first time we see a RayWave refractor. The second new parallel is exclusive to the Lite boxes and is the Black & White RayWave refractor. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re more desirable than the wave refractors in the short and long term. They won’t replace the true color refractors for value in the long term but may have helium in the short term due to the newness. It comes in Aqua, Green Sparkle, Yellow, and Red. ![]() There are two new parallels exclusive to Bowman Draft this year. The main difference will be with the inserts and exclusive parallels. ![]() For those who haven’t, check out my blurb on it in my 2021 Bowman Baseball preview here. If you’ve seen 2021 Bowman Baseball released earlier this year, then you can skip right over this section.
