Bowman did not utilize salesman samples until 1954
There are 53 Bowman strips listed as salesman samples, but they are not.
I can post more later when I’m at a computer, but Bowman issues them in 54-55, Topps ‘52-‘67, and Fleer in 59. Playball backstamped individual cards in ‘39 and those would fit the criteria for salesman samples as well
