Here's what I pulled in our box of 2007-08 Bowman Sterling Basketball Pack.
Rookie Cards and Parallels
Base Rookie: Julian Wright
Refractor Parallel Rookie: Mike Conley #’ed to 399
The base card design looks as luxurious as last year’s product. The design of the card is very clean and makes players on the card very attentive.The front side is covered with foil and the back side is in black and white making the card design one of collectors’ favorites.
Game-Used Cards
The Game Used pulls were Brandan Wright (RC) and Dirk Nowitzki.
The Game Used cards still have the same exact design of the base cards. While there are only 2 Rookie cards every pack, Brandan Wright jersey card is considered another version of his Rookie card and therefore, I was able to pull three Rookies in one pack.
Autographed Card
The Autographed Jersey card was Larry Bird. It is numbered to 15.
One pack guarantees one autograph card per pack and I was lucky enough to pull one of the best cards in this product.
Final Thoughts on 2007-08 Bowman Sterling Basketball
This is a really nice high end product from Topps. One pack guarantees one autographed card, two Game Used cards and two Rookie cards. Therefore, you are guaranteed to receive very nice cards every pack. The overall design of the cards looks very luxurious and captivating.
