thanks..

Jamie,
the only thing I would keep an eye out for is the cards being sheet cut. A number of these (usually basketball) are found to be hand cut from sheets, rather than sold in packs that were properly cut from the factory.

Good luck - hope they all turn out great for you.

The majority of remaining uncut BOWMAN sheets are printer's "rejects".

Cards cut from any such sheets cannot be mistaken for originally issued cards.

Here are three examples from my uncut sheet collection...�

Basketball....Hi# series sheet with incomplete colors.

Baseball....2nd series sheet with overprinted backs.

Football 1st series sheet with overprinted backs.
