1997 Bowman Chrome International Roy Halladay

1997 was a good year for Bowman. They introduced Bowman Chrome and Bowman International parallels.

The International parallel was the the one that died off though.

Running from 1997-1999, the Internationals had a different look each year. In 1997, they backgriound was replaced by the flag of the player's birth country. 1998 featured backgrounds with a map of the player's birth area. My personal favorites are the 1999 version. In 1999, Bowman replaced the background with skylines of the birth state or country.
