One of the most popular MLB sets of the year, 2019 Bowman Chrome Baseball is a prospect collector’s dream and it comes in a shiny chromium finish.
Filling in some of the key names that did not make it into 2019 Bowman Baseball, BC has two distinct Hobby formats. The main Hobby box is the standard option that offers two autographs per master box. There is also the HTA Choice format, which only has three cards in every box but all these cards are autographs.
2019 Bowman Chrome Baseball Base
Because the HTA Choice boxes only have autographs, that means the base cards in 2019 Bowman Chrome Baseball are exclusive to the Hobby format. In general, each Hobby pack should have three base cards and two prospect cards. Parallels extend to both subsets and the prospect players get additional Shimmer Refractors, which average one per master box.
In addition, select rookie players have short-printed Base Image Variation cards.
