John O I totally agree with you. The 67 Mantle Card is awful :-( 65 and 60 are my two favorite Mantle cards in the 60's, 66 a close third imo looks wise.

I only did the set to finish the run, but kind of like it. The umpire cards may be unique but we're a pain since they are high #s. The set was a last ditch effort by Bowman and I think they hoped the TV format would become a draw. However, in 1955 there were not many households with color TVs.

There are 2 recurring print defect versions of the 67 Mantle

Never was a huge fan of the design of the set. But as someone mentioned, the Umps in the set are cool.

Love the '55 Bowman Mantle. Probably love the '53 a little more, but still a classic card. Bowman did a much better job with Mantle than Topps did.

Default Great card!
I like the 55 bowman too, especially if it is centered and with strong
corners. I got a fellow board member to agree with me and now he is
following my lead and putting it on his want list.
