Since we are on the subject of the 1948 Bowman Movies Stars cards, I have an interesting experience I would like to share with you.
I was set-up at a BB card Show in Red Bank (NJ) in 1991. Back then, small Shows sometimes were just as good as the larger shows.
And this one was a good one. I sold an eclectic variety of cards at it.... 19th Century, pre-war, post-war BB, FB, BskB, & Non-Sports.
A fellow noticed my stacks of various Bowman Movies Stars cards and asked me...."which set would be the easiest to put together" ?
I suggested the 1948 set.
He said his son liked the Bowman Movies Stars cards, and he had promised his son a complete Movies Stars set for his birthday.
So, I gave him this Lloyd Nolan card to take home for his son's approval.
Suddenly, this guy "cracked up"....laughing hilariously.
I asked him...."what's so funny" ?
He told me that his house is situated on the corner of
Lloyd Road and
Nolan Drive in the nearby town of Matawan. We both laughed
heartily.
OK guys....is that an unbelievable coincidence....or what ?
