How to get the 2015 Bowman Draft Asia exclusives when you don’t live in Asia
By Ryan Cracknell | Hobby Editor
Not all of your player’s 2015 Bowman Draft Refractors are found in traditional hobby, jumbo or even super jumbo packs. A special version was made for Asia-bound boxes that takes the rainbow to an even bigger spectrum. Some are more common than others, but given the distribution, it’s likely than not a lot of these Asia-exclusive cards will be easy to get in North America.
But there is one way that’s familiar with a lot of collectors — group breaks. GTS Distribution and Rip City Cards are heading over to Japan to break the Asian version of 2015 Bowman Draft with local card shops.
What Are the 2015 Bowman Draft Asia Exclusives?
Asia-exclusive 2015 Bowman Draft boxes aren’t going to have just one or two special cards. Rather, each box should have more than 40 cards not found in regular boxes.
Black Refractors are the most common, with 40 or more per box. Paper Black and Red parallels are less common, landing about four per box. Black Wave Refractors are also in every box, likely one or two.
The box configuration of the Asia boxes is similar to 2015 Bowman Draft jumbo boxes. Packs come with 32 cards each with three autographs per box. Of these signed cards, Black Refractors are exclusive to Asia. They’re numbered to 35 and each case should have anywhere from three to five of them.
Other exclusives include Prime Pairing Autograph Superfractors (1/1), 2015 Futures Game Relics Red parallels (#/5) and 2015 Futures Game Relics Black parallels (1/1).
Asian boxes come with regular cards as well.
2015 Bowman Draft Asia-Exclusive Case Breaks
Rip City Cards and Kazu Tokyo both have breaks scheduled from now until December 23. Spots and personal boxes are available on their websites. If you’re curious about the product or just want to watch some of these breaks, they’re being broadcast live (Rip City, Kazu Tokyo).
