Did Leaf Freeze Out Bowman in 1949?
Posted By: Chris Counts
That's a great question. It seems to me that if Bowman made a '49 football set, it would probably have looked like the '49 baseball set. But I'll bet their baseball cards far outsold their football cards, and Bowman was too busy to make a football set in the summer of '49 because they a) were adding a late series to the '49 baseball set, and b) were busy gearing up for the following baseball season, when they would unveil the first of a series of much more ambitious and attractive sets. I've long believed the Bowman sets from '50-'53 are among the finest baseball cards ever produced (the Bowman '50-52 football are equally amazing), and it must have taken a great effort to create and reproduce the first set in particular of such high quality images.
