Oakland A's pitching prospect Michel Inoa pulled from Bowman Sterling
Topps confirmed on Tuesday that Oakland A’s pitching prospect Michel Inoa was pulled from 2008 Bowman Sterling.
The move means the 16-year-old Dominican right-hander’s only officially licensed MLB card comes in 2008 Bowman Draft (above; misspelled name not corrected). Inoa was one of the 18 prospects who signed Chome cards for that product.
Inoa had been slated to appear in the Sterling Autographed Prospects set — and appears on the checklist — but the card was not produced.
Inoa has signed cards for TRISTAR (officially licensed minor league cards) and has appeared in Donruss sets as well.
