In addition, there are a total of 15 players from the base set that get the SSP treatment with a second card that looks similar only with longer odds and a different photo. These are exclusive to Hobby boxes, as well, and can also be found as Variation Autographs (#/25).

2020 Bowman Chrome Baseball Inserts

Like the base set, Hobby boxes have all the inserts since HTA boxes have only autographs. Choices include 2019 AFL Fall Stars (1:6 packs) and Stat Tracker (1:3 packs). New this year, Dawn of Glory (1:12 packs) cards showcase some of the budding stars in the prospect ranks. These sets each add Atomic Refractor (#/150), Orange Refractor (#/25) and SuperFractor (1/1) parallels. There is also a limited 2019 Arizona Fall League MVP Short Print (#/250) card for Royce Lewis. This SP card has only a one-of-one SuperFractor. Falling one per case, Farm to Fame is another debut line, focusing on the earliest days for top stars of past and present. Parallels include Orange Refractor (#/25) and SuperFractor (1/1).

That leads us to the hard-signed content in the 2020 Bowman Chrome Baseball checklist. Both the Chrome Prospect Autographs and Chrome Rookie Autographs sets offer multiple Refractor parallels. HTA boxes supply even more exclusive prospect parallels to chase.
