2008 Bowman Chrome Baseball will be available starting August 13th.  This is a great product.  I’m a big fan of the Bowman cards, chock full of rookies.  Getting all chrome in a product is very cool too.  I wasn’t always a chrome fan, but I’m coming around quick. 

What you need to know:

• A hobby box is currently priced at about $70
• 2 Chrome Cards Per Pack
• 1 Autographed Chrome Prospect Card Per Hobby Box
• 110 New Bowman Chrome Prospect Cards
• 1 of 1 Superfractors
• 30 Rookies with the MLB Rookie Logo

If you’re into prospects, rookies and chrome, this is a baseball card release for you.
