1952 Bowman Salesman Sample vs Partial Production Sheet

[HRBAKER]

Great stuff guys!

I have two '52 Topps cut from a panel (), Al Rosen and Johnny Bucha - any idea who the other player was on the panel?

It should follow the standard sheet printing. Dave do you have a scan of the sheet with Rosen?

I don't, although I have others from the first series on partials. Just not his row. I think they were all taken from press sheets or at least final proofs. Those partial sheets in the famous 1952 Woolwoorth's picture must have come from the same setup as well.

I am surprised you didn't show the mixed breed 55 Bowman samples:

I left a lot out, figured I’d bogarted the thread enough

Woah...do those upside down TV's have lighter color wood? That's super interesting. My guess is that those were just prototypes?

[Griffins]

no, Bowman changed color wood from lighter to darker in the series. The salesman sample Dave posted (which is one of mine) bridges both series.

Is the back the ad for "giant sized cards" gray and green?

I'm still.looking for a left side I believe as my 2 have also been cut!

Pete Runnels was my favorite player when I was a kid. I have one Topps salesman's sample with Runnels on it for the 1957 cards. I would love to acquire another salesman's sample, Topps or Bowman, which includes Runnels. Does anyone know of any others that exist?

My only other salesman's sample is for Topps 1965 cards, which I'd be willing to part with in a deal for one with Runnels.
