SHADOW SHOTS plus a RANT

 Let's get the rant out of the way. Topps did it again. Yep.... just like the Topps Flagship release the 2025 Bowman is out at the Bowman Chrome Prospects have 59 versions of each base card. The base plus 58 parallels the same as the Topps Flagship. The base (paper) set there are just 24 versions and the same for the paper prospects. There are 634 different Braves cards in 2025 Bowman. ABSOLUTELY NUTS!

So far this year there have been 3,563 unique Braves released of which just 61 ARE MAIN SET CARDS and 236 inserts. You ask where are the balance? Okay there 1,664 parallels of the main set cards and 1,602 parallels of the inserts. 

Alrighty then my rant is over.



I see a soldier crawling.




I could say a defensive end lined up, but I'm going with another frog.




A pair of LIPS (open of course). Must have taken a drink or a kiss and hadn't let grabbed a Kleenex.

Have a great weekend.

  1. Those numbers are insane! Hard to keep up with so many parallels.

    P.S. 58 parallels? C'mon Topps. Do better.

  3. A horse with a very long neck. A lunar lander. A gymnast in the middle of a backflip. That is a whole lot of parallels. Imagine getting just one of each much less a complete set of all parallels! Have a great weekend all!
