With apologies to Darren and Mintacular, in his book,The Bubble Gum Card War-The Great Bowman & Topps sets from 1948 to 1955, Dean Hadley opined that the set of 48 was designed to be issued in one series. Why 48 cards is not clear since it required two sheets of 36 and resulted in the 24 DPs, even though Bowman at the time apparently had 109 players under contract. Dean believes Bownan printed the same number of both sheets. The Bowman football set that year was 3 sheets of 108, a lesson learned.
The set has players from 10 of 16 teams, but half the set consists of Yankees and Giants in deference to Bowman's biggest market for gum. As the first national set in awhile, 62 % of it are rookie cards, 30. And why does Rizzuto seem to have a pillow inside his shirt ? Last edited by ALR-bishop; 08-05-2018 at 02:16 PM.
