Some of us old dudes who collected these BOWMAN cards recall opening waxpacks and getting various color errors. I vividly recall (as if it were just yesterday) opening a pack
in the Summer of 1949 and finding a Phil Rizzuto with a "golden" yellow background color (instead of the normal orange color). I was very excited about this, since Phil Rizzuto
lived only 2 blocks away from our home. And, was a really friendly guy.
Here is an example of a Factory cut SLATE card....Muncrief
