Bowman Sterling is a premium issue - is beautiful and well done! I'll get my criticism over with early ---- put the numbering of the card on the reverse - not the front of the card..... please.

This year's Bowman Sterling is loaded with rookies ( again, I received no Tebow! - what is up with that?) Player collectors will have lots to chase - regular base, various refractors, printing plates, autos, various refractor autos, relics, various refractor autos, - need I say more?

The base cards are highly reflective - full bleed pictures and printed on very stiff stock. The reverse has Sterling Stats, and personal stats along with the Bowman Reflection. Digital photography has really influenced the action shots available to Topps to choose from for each player and the shots chosen seem to jump off of the card - really good looking photography!

The relic cards are all much thicker than the regular cards and the gold relic auto is even thicker still! I was pleased to pull a printing plate of a relic and Bowman put a patch piece in it! Very good - I have always contended that the low numbered cards should have prime pieces of jersey in them - Thank you!!

Overall grade A+ excellent!!

Go buy several boxes and send all of the Tebow and the Tebow variations to me!!

Duane-
That was a great break. Sorry no Tebows.

I have to ask: What would it take to get the Ryan Mathews cards from the break?

That absolutely works for me.

Do you need any of these Tebow cards...I would be more than happy to throw 2-3 in for you:
2010 Adrenalyn XL 129 Tim Tebow
2010 Press Pass 61 Tim Tebow
2010 Press Pass 85 Tim Tebow
2010 Press Pass PE 45 Tim Tebow
2010 Score Hot Rookies 2 Tim Tebow
2010 Topps 440 Tim Tebow
2010 Topps 1952 Bowman 9 Tim Tebow
2010 Topps Attax 191 Tim Tebow
2010 Topps Prime Retail 1 Tim Tebow

Also, could you please let me know the card numbers on the Mathews so I can cross them off?

2010 Topps 1952 Bowman 9 Tim Tebow
2010 Topps Prime Retail 1 Tim Tebow

Thanks!!

Thanks. The trade is posted. Hate to be a pest about this, but I want to mark the cards off my list...are they the same picture on both cards?
