Last week I received this card in the mail that I won on EBAY for $3.74 delivered.
If you bought any Bowman Chrome cards the last few years, you know this is a 2014 Bowman Chrome Draft card. The auction I won listed it as a 2015 card. Other EBAY auctions listed it both ways, so I decided to do a little digging. According to the Topps website, this card was to be included in 2014 Bowman Draft, but Williams did return the signed cards in time to make the release date. Hard to believe it took much time to sign that auto, a simple R and W. Rather than destroy the cards, Topps included them in 2015 Bowman Chrome because "the cards deserved to be in the hands of collectors." Topps also had the same situation with Mets prospect Michael Conforto. At least Topps did not destory the cards, but I would not be surprised to see Williams and Conforto cards be used as replacements for redemptions in the future.
