217 Murray Wall
218 Les Fusselman

222 Vic Janowicz
232 Dick Kokos
245 Bill Norman
258 Jim Gilliam
270 Vern Stephens
272 Bill Antonello
274 John Riddle
278 Willie Miranda

22 Howie Fox
27 Roy Campanella
82 Mickey Mantle
83 Howie Pollet
86 Billy Martin
144 Bob Schultz
161 Vern Bickford
218 Les Fusselman
220 Satchell Paige
232 Dick Kokos
245 Bill Norman
258 Jim Gilliam
270 Vern Stephens
272 Bill Antonello
274 John Riddle
I also started working on signed 1950, 1951 and 1952 Bowman Red Sox sets. I picked up several of the tougher ones, and have leads on a couple more.
