2016 Bowman Chrome Light Blue Refractors Return as Hobby Shop Giveaway
By Ryan Cracknell | Hobby Editor
2016 Bowman Chrome Light Blue Refractors are back. But you’ll only find a handful of the special packs — literally — on Twitter. Rather than using social media to give the cards away, Topps is opting for a different approach this time around. The vast majority of packs are being sent to select hobby shops for customer giveaways.
The 150 Prospect inserts in 2016 Bowman Baseball have Light Blue Refractors. Each of the parallels is numbered to 15.
The special giveaway packs have randomly inserted signed cards as well. 2016 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Light Blue Refractors are numbered to 3. According to Topps, these fall about 1:3 of the special packs.
Topps will be giving away five of the packs through the Bowman Twitter account. The remaining packs are being sent to select MVP hobby shops. Details on how they’ll be given away have not been announced.

Just curious, do we know what an MVP shop is?
They’re shops with a high level direct account with Topps. I don’t think they have a list of specific shops published but your store will know.
