OK, we agree that there are only 6 of these sets listed on the PSA Registry. And, we can add my 2 PCL sets
and 2 others that I know of.....that's not too many in the larger picture of the collecting hobby.
The Registry can be misleading when it comes to higher priced scarce cards. It's just like the PSA POP reports,
that always list a greater number of Stars than Commons. And this is so, since the stars have the higher $$$$
value. The name of the game nowadays is dollar value for HOFer's and Scarce cards......not simply collecting
sets. Otherwise Commons would show up on the POP reports in greater numbers.
I have been collecting sets for 31 years, and it took me 20 years to complete TWO of these PCL sets. If you
are interested in more info on the 1949 Bowman PCL cards, Mark Macrae and I wrote an article on this set in
the March-April 1997 Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector magazine (issue #10).
