As you bust packs and boxes of 2012 Bowman Chrome Baseball, it could pay to keep a close eye. It's a Where's Waldo sort of chase for 20 different 2012 Bowman Chrome Baseball Prospect variations.

The variations aren't a part of the base set. Rather, they're the Prospect inserts. That means the players aren't household names. This could also make them easier to miss.

However, there are a few ways to spot a 2012 Bowman Chrome Prospect variation short print. The first is the photo. Some have only subtle differences. Most, though have the player fielding rather than batting or vice versa. A second way to spot variations is by the Bowman Chrome logo on the front. The regular versions of the Prospects have the '1st Bowman Chrome' logo on the front. Variants have the regular Bowman Chrome logo.

Finally, the fine print on the back of the card gives a hint. Of you look at the copyright info on the bottom of the back, there's a code at the end. Regular Bowman Chrome Prospect cards end with 21. Variations end with 53.

Inserted 1:475 hobby packs, 2012 Bowman Chrome variation short prints are a little tougher than 1:2 cases.

Below you'll find a complete checklist for all 20 variations as well as images, image descriptions and team info.
