485.0. "1992 Bowman Baseball" by KAOS::STOLL () Sun Oct 04 1992 00:26

    The 92 Bowman cards look good. They look like they have a UV coating
    and each wax pack has 1 gold foil card(borders are engraved gold foil)
    I have only found them at 1 shop for 1.75 per wax pack.

    I picked up a box from the local dealer, and after opening the whole
    box found that I was 298 cards short of the set.  The set is 705 I
    believe.  The gold cards look great, the first pack I opened was a
    Frank Thomas, and that is one that I've heard is hard to come by. I got
    about 60 duplicates from the one box that I opened.

    $50.00 pre-ordered from dealer up here in Augusta.  Also saw them at a
    small show here in Maine yesterday for $1.75-2.00 per pack.

    Geez, Ray they just came out ... where did this information come from ?
    By the way,  while the gold cards  look  pretty nice, overall the cards
    are kind of bland  with  those  white borders and no logos. Sounds like
    the distribution is good though if you only had 60 duplicates in a box.

485.5Two 553's exist ...FUTURE::JST_ONGEJohn St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715Sat Oct 17 1992 13:155
    For those of you sorting your Bowmans and notice you're missing card
    #533, check your 553's. #533 is Pat Clements and it is numbered #553
    which is actually Wille Banks.

    I opened two boxes of Bowmans I got in a trade. Distribution wasn't too
    bad - only missing 20 cards out of 705.

    I was real surprised by how nice the Bowman's looked.  Sort of an older
    looking front which was neat, more traditional, and a different looking
    back with a little flashback blurp printed.  I like them.
