2021 Bowman x Keith Shore Baseball Checklist and Details
Baseball card collectors have become accustomed to Keith Shore’s signature style through both Topps Project 2020 and Topps Project70. Now the artist has a collaboration that’s all his. 2021 Bowman x Keith Shore Baseball is an ode to 1989 Bowman Baseball. More specifically, the set’s Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie Card.
2021 Bowman x Keith Shore Baseball Checklist Overview
When complete, the set will have 40 cards. Not only does every one adopt the 1989 Bowman design — including the taller dimensions of 2.5″ by 3.75″ — but all 40 cards use the same crouching pose as the ’89 Griffey RC.
Sold through the Topps website, it’s broken down into four separate ten-card waves. Each is available for one week.
Each box costs $19.99 and comes with all ten cards for the week. So while collectors will have to buy multiple boxes over the four-week run, there’s no chasing the base set.
But that’s not to say there aren’t chase elements. Foil parallels are randomly inserted in the following colors:
- Green – /99
- Purple – /25
- Red – /10
- Orange – /5
- Gold – 1/1
Each week also has a different Ken Griffey Jr. card that has just 100 copies.
2021 Bowman x Keith Shore Baseball is a print-on-demand release. This means that it will be available for the full seven days. Print runs will be based on what’s ordered.
Silver-framed Artist Proofs and autographs for select cards are also part of the release, although these are sold separately.

As someone that has the original 1989 set, this is pretty cool. Might even have to find a way to display the original Griffey Jr. with these Keith Shore versions. I also love Mikellers and Keith Shore.
