2013 Bowman Sterling Baseball Cards

Product Details
On a per box basis, 2013 Bowman Sterling Baseball delivers the most rookie and prospect autograph content of the year. A single pack has more ink than the average 2013 Bowman hobby box. Of course, it comes at a high price. But for those looking for sheer quantity, this is where to go. Every 2013 Bowman Sterling Baseball pack has three autographs. Spread that across six packs, that's 18 autographs per box.
As with previous years, 2013 Bowman Sterling Baseball focuses on baseball's young stars. Nearly every card in the product features either a rookie or a prospect. The only place to find longtime veterans and retired greats is with the cross-brand Blue Sapphire Refractor set that celebrates some of the top Bowman-branded rookie cards of all-time.
The vast majority of autographs will be on-card once again. The main autograph sets also have a different design, switching from 2012's horizontal take to a more futuristic vertical look. Autographs come with many Refractor parallels, all of which are numbered: base Refractors (#/150), Green Refractors (#/125), Ruby Refractors (#/99), Orange Refractors (#/75), Gold Refractors (#/50), Blue Refractors (#/25), Purple Refractors (#/10), Canary Diamond (#/3), Red Refractors (1/1) and Superfractors (1/1). Each card also has Printing Plates.
Collectors looking for multi-signature cards can hunt for Dual Autographs. Like base autographs, they have Refractor versions as well: Refractors (#/35), Blue(#/15), Purple (#/5), Canary Diamond (#/3), Red (1/1), Printing Plates and Superfractors (1/1). The Duel (#/15) is another multi-signature set. It is a winning entry from an online contest that asked collectors to come up with their own idea.
2013 Bowman Sterling Baseball also has a handful of additional autographs. Sterling Auto Showcase honors the top prospects from 2013. Each card is numbered to 25 while a Sterling Silver parallel is numbered 1/1. Sterling Blue Sapphire Signings (#/50) use silver ink on blue backgrounds. Parallels include Ruby (#/25) and Superfractors (1/1). Nickname Autographs (#/15) are inscribed by the player. Bowman Black continues with another 25 cards, each numbered to 25.
Although much of the attention for 2013 Bowman Sterling Baseball is on the autographs, collectors shouldn't overlook the base rookies and Prospect inserts. Including Refractor parallels, they fall just one per pack. With such a lofty price tag, individual singles should prove to be somewhat difficult to find over time. Refractor parallels for the all-rookie base set and Prospect cards include Refractors (#/199), Gold (#/50), Blue (#/25), Purple (#/10), Canary Diamond (#/3), Red (1/1), Printing Plates and Superfractors (1/1).
Random 2013 Bowman Sterling boxes have a special Autographed Box Loader that is numbered to 20. These have one-of-one Superfractor parallels.

WAY too many parallels. I mean, I don;t mind one or two types of parallels. But to have 3 quarters of a dozen parallels? I mean, come one, already! Enough!
