2006 BOWMAN HERITAGE BASEBALL Honors the Classic 1949 Bowman Design! The base cards are of nice quality and have that look and feel of an old time set. On the back there is a nice short bio of the player and a section that tells of the players highlights in the Majors. Shown above are the regular version, the Rainbow version and the mini version. The white parallels are very hard to figure out without a regular version next to them.

We pulled (37) rookie cards in this one box. Here's the breakdown;
- (24) Regular Bowman Heritage
- (5) Rainbow Bowman Heritage
- (8) Mini Bowman Heritage
All of the rookie cards have the new rookie logo either in the lower left or right hand corners this year. A lot easier to spot the rookies cards that you have.

The Game Used cards we pulled are of two of MLB hottest stars. Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals and Dontrelle Willis of the Florida Marlins. The Pujols is a plain grey piece of jersey whereas the Willis has a pinstripe in it.

The autograph is a super nice autograph of Jarrod Saltamacchia of the Atlanta Braves. Nice clean autograph with no bubbling, separation or breaks.

The
Final Verdict! |
|
|
|
| I
rate this box a 5 of 5 HI Fives. 2006 Bowman Heritage Baseball
is a medium-priced, high-quality sports card product. You can usually
find these boxes in the $34 to $55 price range. Very good value
for the money in my opinion. |
