On the other side of post-war...new project!

[VinTX]

well many of you saw and posted many kind words on my 1955 Topps set that I recently completed, and as I've mentioned before I'm hooked hardcore now on vintage set building and I'm going at it head first! As some of you may know, I'm now currently working on a graded 1954 Topps baseball set, and my first pre-war project, a graded 1934 Goudey set. But two projects isn't good enough, LOL!! I decided I wanted to do another raw set, and thought I'd hop over to the other side of the big 50's line and try my hand at Bowman. So I've decided to start work on the 1952 Bowman set!

I've gotten a nice start thanks to a couple of great members right here on Net54. Thanks to both of you for great transactions!

Since I can only put 10 pictures in a given post, I'll break up this first lot over a few posts over the next week or so and will add new pickups as they come in. As with my '54 and '34 sets, this one will go at a much more leisurely pace than my '55 set, lol.

If anyone has any '52 Bowmans they'll part with please give me a shout! I'm looking to trade as much as possible right now as most of the cash that i get in is going to either paying bills or buying silver coins. If you've got anything you're looking for let me know and I'll see what I've got!

So here's my first batch!

#003 - Fred Hutchinson


#007 - Mike Garcia


#009 - Vern Stephens


#010 - Bob Hooper


#012 - Max Surkont


#020 - Willie Jones


#038 - Whitey Lockman


#048 - Vern Bickford


#049 - Jim Hearn


#055 - Ken Raffensberger

Beautiful set! I have a few of the '52 Bowman but am not willing to part with them yet. I just picked up George Kell and Duke Snider a few weeks back (I focus mainly on HOFers).

Like always keep posting and I'll keep watching but I'm starting to hate you a bit (just kidding).

Good luck,
Drew

haha, I promise I'm not trying to copy you I guess we just have similar tastes! And to answer your question, no I'm not planning on the '59 Topps set... (atleast not yet, haha). Infact the next one I have my eye on once I've wrapped up one of my current ones is probably going to be either the '53 Topps or maybe the '54 Bowman
