Rookie Card Scan |

|
| Comments:
The rookies have
the rookie designation on the opposite side from the Bowman Sterling logo on the top of the card.
The rookies are mainly posed shots from training camp.
We pulled (4) rookie cards of one form or another in this one pack of Bowman Sterling. See all cards in review for pictures. The back of the rookie cards has a short bio of the player along with two other sections titled;
- Bowman Reflection...(more in-depth bio)
- Sterling Stats...(college statistics)

The Game Used cards we pulled were of Shaun Rogers of the Detroit Lions and Laurence Maroney of the New England Patriots. The jersey cards have a piece of jersey in the shape of a football which is quite unique. The back of the cards has the same information about the player as the rookie cards above do. Neither card is numbered.

| Comments:
This autograph is a nice quality autograph of Martin Nance of the Buffalo Bills. Very nice high-quality autograph with no breaks or bubbling. This particular card is a refractor and is numbered out of /199.

The
Final Verdict! |
|
|
|
| I
rate this pack a 4 of 5 HI Fives. 2006 Bowman Sterling Football
is a nice high-quality card product. You can usually
find these packs in the $45 to $50 price range. As far as value for the money, it's hard to determine when only opening one pack from a box.
