Twenty collectors (unless you’re really lucky and pull more than one) will get to own a 1951 Bowman Originals Sketch Card which can be found in 2017 Bowman. Bob Hepner is the artist behind them. A few have surfaced already, but not all. It could be a long time before all twenty are found.
The checklist contains current stars and Hall of Famers. If you’re wondering what they all look like, take a gander.

[…] The homage to 1951 Bowman is my favorite. That painted look on chrome stock is top notch. Parallels include Green (retail) #’ed/99, Gold #’ed/50, Orange #’ed/25, Red #’ed/5, and Superfractor #’ed/1. Topps got artist Bob Hepner to hand-draw one-of-one sketches based on these. Its not very often you see sketch cards in Bowman. Sketch cards drawn to look like a vintage set with a mix of current and older stars was a great idea I’d like to see done again. Check them all out!
