2017 Bowman Draft Variations Chrome Guide and Gallery
Adding limited image swaps for top draft picks and prospects, the 2017 Bowman Draft variations provide collectors with a little something more to chase during their hunt for the top young stars.
Although they weren't listed on the final 2017 Bowman Draft Baseball checklist, these short prints shouldn't give collectors too many problems. Unlike the more subtle changes found in other sets, the 2017 Bowman Draft Variations are pretty easy to determine thanks to the black facsimile signature added to the card. They also display a different image from the main Chrome card but carry the card numbering for the paper set (#BD-).
While the obviousness means the code on the back is not as crucial for spotting, the 2017 Bowman Draft variations have a CODE#CMP that ends in #5196. They are also fairly tough to pull, at odds of 1:173 hobby jumbo packs.
In addition to these limited short prints, there are also versions that are actually signed on-card. These naturally remove the facsimile autograph. The signed cards are limited to 99 copies but retain the #BD- card number. Overall odds are 1:898 hobby jumbo packs.
We are adding live images as they surface, but please contact us directly by email if you come across something we don't have.

Unfortunately I can attest to opening a box and finding 2 of them (Taylor Ward) with no number, so I am not sure there is a corrected version out there. A search of eBay and they seem to be pretty common.
