Here are the available 1955 Bowman examples, and the next best thing since they didn't make a 1955 Bowman Snider.

A little unconventional, I grant you, but I don’t have many pieces with Mickey and the Duke…

Unfortunately I sold my 51 set, it contained a PSA 4.5 of Mays and a 3 of Mantle. Oh well, I've got to live with that.
I still have these. |
I don't have any Mickey or Duke, but I've been working on acquiring some Mays cards:

Going based on just the PSA pop counts, they are pretty rare, although part of the reason for that is probably because the jumbo PSA holders are relatively new (since 2018 I think), and so therefore there are a lot of jumbo items with very low pop counts. I'm also guessing that about the only people who collect these items are the player set collectors, which probably means that not many people care to submit them to PSA. |

Stole this from another website:

A few more.

These are all amazing! Keep them coming. The stat comparisons are great as well. These 3 guys were in a league of their own, especially in the 50’s.

"Let's go to the videotape." Remember his interview with Andre the Giant, when he picked up Warner like a ragdoll? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxRUXMwq6Lo |
