I don't see these pre-productions listed. Anyone know how they were distributed, or where they should be listed. I saw the 1996 were released with 1996 Topps or whatever. I've found 1-4 online. Are there any more? Edited on: Sep 13, 2021 - 4:34PM ------------------------------- ~Jeremy Ozzie Smith Supercollector (1800 +)

Based on images found so far, there are at least 4 cards. Trying to see if there are any more than that.

PP-1 - Jose Cruz Jr. - Seattle Mariners

PP-2 - Andruw Jones - Atlanta Braves

PP-3 - Derek Jeter - New York Yankees

PP-4 - Sammy Sosa - Chicago Cubs

So far I also only see those four on COMC and Beckett. No info on how they were inserted yet.

The Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards (...I have the 20th edition, 2011) says those four cards are the whole set. "The format for 1997 Bowman's base set was previewed in this sample issue distributed to card dealers and the hobby press."
