Keep reading for more and a full gallery of images.

The Basics: The base set of this one once again will include 100 top stars on Chrome stock and they'll all have at least 15 parallels in BD boxes. They include standard Refractors, Blue (/150), Pink Lava (/100), Green Mini-Diamond (/99), Yellow (/75), Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Red (/10), Red Lava (/5) and 1/1 Supers as found in all formats and then Geometric exclusives -- Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Teal (/15), Red (/10) and White (/5). ... There will be five standard insert sets to chase here and then two called "SSP" by Topps. They'll include Elements Of The Game, Victory Vibes, Greatness Awaits, Bowman U Buckets and Bowman Masterpiece for the easier stuff. These will all have Geometric, Gold (/50), Orange (/25) and 1/1 Superfractors. For the "SSP" sets there will be Mirror Image Fusion cards and Let's Go cards which will only have Supers for parallels.

For autos there will be seven sets all with parallels. Best of 2023 autos will be found with standard Refractors (/125) and 1/1 Supers as well as five Geometrics in BD boxes -- Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Teal (/15), Red (/10) and White (/5). Greatness Awaits autos will only have Gold, Orange and Red Geometrics (same volume) as well as Supers. Bowman U Buckets die-cut autos will have that same four-color rainbow as will Bowman Masterpieces. Rounding things out will be Prospect Jumbo Relic Autos with Honor Roll (/49) and 1/1 Valedictorian parallels and then dual- and triple-auto cards. Each of those sets will have Orange (/10) and Red (/5) Geometric parallels here as well as 1/1 Superfractors.
