Default 1950 Bowman

Posted By: Fred Y

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the 1950 Bowman set, so will start off w/ a couple of pages from my set.

It is the first FB set I ever collected, following on the heels of my '50 Bowman baseball. As far as I can remember, all cards were available most of the Fall that year and because I had no holes in the set to finish years later I assume they were all available in equal numbers.

I tried to pick a couple of sheets that were colorful, w/ interesting poses and a couple of Stars.

First are #37-48 w/ Bobby Layne, Leon Hart and the Rookie cards of Marion Motley & Otto Graham.








Second pages are #133-144 (last 12 cards in the 144 card set) w/ Pete Pihos and the last card of the immortal Rookie Knox Ramsey!!










Will be looking forward to seeing some others post cards from this fantastic little set!

Great stuff.

And no print lines like the '51 Bowmans.

It may be the most beautiful card -- of all
football cards.

Wish I had a scan of it.

I've got it in PSA 6

I made the leap & sent my '50 Bowman complete set to SGC for grading.

This is a set like my '52 Bowman Large (shown in the '52 Thread) that was put together back in the day & has been virtually untouched to this day. I sent it in for grading w/out ever having upgraded or changed a single card, as I wanted to see how it would fare in today's world--warts and all!

These were bought, played with and stored away in cigar boxes w/ rubber bands around them, altho I did put some cardboard on top & bottom of each stack. (Lord only knows why I did that!)

Anyhow, they came back 100% graded, w/ the average grade in the SGC 80-6 range--a few GOOD-VG and many were SGC 84-86-88. I did get 1 in MINT 9.

Below are just a few I scanned to show, including #1 & #144, but if anyone has a question, comment or would like to see any other card I will be happy to accomodate. Both sets are listed in the SGC Set Registry.

Hi Leon--

Thank You for commenting.

I was NOT surprised that they all graded, as I was never one to disfigure my cards or paste them in a scrapbook or similar, but I DID shuffle through them & played w/ them, so getting some nice grades made it alot easier to stand the expense!

I have a '50 Bowman baseball set as well, but being as how I did not like FB as much as Baseball, I don't believe they would fare as well in grading as I played w/ them alot more!

I'm going to start going though them soon to see how I think they would do compared to the FB!

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but Fred, I don't recall you having posted any of your 50 Bowman Baseball (set!!) on the postwar baseball board. We've had a lot of good threads on them over there. You'll pick up a lot of good info too.

Actually, I haven't gotten around to pulling out the set yet, so I haven't gone through them to check condition.

They are like the football in that they are in 12 pocket sheets, which I did yrs ago.

I'll try to make a point to get to them soon & at least post a few scans!

Thanks for your interest & for reminding me!
