2011 Bowman Sterling - N F L
One pack/mini box received
'1 auto'd card and 2 relic cards per mini box'
I received the following:
1 base card
Greg Jones
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...
Refractor
Greg Jones - #ed to 299 (on the front of the card --
) What is up with that? Why not number the cards on the reverse???Relics
Ryan Williams
Andy Dalton
Both relics are good size... the Dalton piece looks especially sweet.
Auto
Greg McElroy
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!!
