Bowman Sterling is a premium product for the NFL crowd. The cards are thick and have a 'sterling' finish - mirror type surface. The reverse has stats, personal, college attended, and pro stats. Also included is a Bowman Reflection - a reflection of the player's earlier life...

Both relics are good size... the Dalton piece looks especially sweet.

The auto is a blue Sharpee on a sticker. I still prefer a card with an embedded sticker - IF a sticker has to be utilized....

Bowman Sterling is a good issue for the player collector. I did not receive enough mini boxes to determine how many base cards one should receive in a complete box. The various parallels should be a good chase for the player collector. On the 'bay, I have seen gold refractor versions... they look pretty cool.
I like the relics - the RC version. I think it's great that the various rookies have relic cards.
Overall grade A
Go buy several complete boxes and send the Tebow cards to me!!
