Bowman Sterling Football
6 packs per box - 5 cards per pack PLUS a box topper pack!
2 auto relic, 4 autos, and 6 dual relics per box!
I received these:
15 base cards
Bowman Sterling issue is a dark issue.... background should be blue or gold or even red.... something other than black... The base cards are stiff with a sterling (shiny) finish on the front - and are well designed. Players names and team logos are easily seen. The reverse has '13 stats, career stats and a 'Bowman Reflection'.

Sterling seems to be a premium issue that is geared for the player collector - not so much for the set builder. There are lots of relics, autos, and some pretty cool cards in the box - especially the box topper that I received!
All of the autos I received are sticker autos - the cards are designed for stickers, but I prefer stickers embedded in the card - not just stuck on.
Overall grade B+ too dark for my collecting taste.
Go buy a box or 3 and send the sweet patches to me!
