2022 Bowman Chrome Baseball Forum

I'm having trouble figuring out what this is exactly. I've determined that it's an image variation as the pose doesn't match the base or refractor #87 we have images of. It has the effect of a refractor but is not SN499 like the other refractors in the set. I'm down to either a) the #87b SP/VAR is also a refractor, hence no SN or b) the variations also have refractor versions and they forgot to stamp mine. Ideas anyone????

Looks like it's the SP, VAR version that would go here (2022 Bowman Chrome #87b Josh Lowe | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com)). VAR notes have been added, until I just did now, for this card. Also from Cardboard Connection concerning the VARs "CMP code on the back ends #852."

Thanks! It does indeed end in 852. It's the refractor part that's confusing. I've never had a base SP/VAR for a non-refractor set be a refractor.

Just added the production code info to Release Notes for future reference
