2022 Topps Bowman Chrome Sapphire Edition Baseball Checklist

2022 Bowman Chrome Sapphire Edition reworks the 2022 Bowman Chrome checklist in the blue-tinted Sapphire finish, released January 20, 2023. It pairs a 100-card veteran and rookie base with 100 Bowman Chrome Prospects, and every card in the set is part of the same numbered Sapphire ladder.

What's in the checklist

• Base Set: 100 cards of MLB veterans and rookies, with Aqua Sapphire /99, Orange Sapphire /75, Yellow Sapphire /50, Purple Sapphire /25, Red Sapphire /5 and Padparadscha 1/1 parallels
• Bowman Chrome Prospects: 100 cards numbered BCP-151 onward, carrying the same six-step Sapphire rainbow
• Image Variations: 15 cards (9 base and 6 prospects), also paralleled from Aqua Sapphire /99 to Padparadscha 1/1

Key rookies and prospects

The base side includes Wander Franco, Julio Rodriguez, Bobby Witt Jr., Spencer Torkelson, Oneil Cruz, Seiya Suzuki, CJ Abrams and Jeremy Pena, many of whom also have image variations. The prospect run features Oscar Colas, Cristhian Vaquero, Bryan Acuña, Roderick Arias and Won-Bin Cho, with image variations for Elly De La Cruz, Jordan Lawlar and Marcelo Mayer.

Grading considerations

Image variations of Witt, Rodriguez and De La Cruz, along with Red Sapphire /5 and Padparadscha 1/1 parallels, are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. The glossy Sapphire surface picks up fingerprints, print lines and light scratches, so inspect each card under direct light before submitting. See our grading scale.
