1950 Bowman Baseball Set "fact"?

It was the "Joe" DiMaggio that caught my eye. I wish there would have been one that year, but sorry, no.

I'm half way through the set and I do think abut that from time to time...wish he was in there.

Been trying to get all the copyright and no copyright variations. Still need a few. The no copyright can be tough and the higher the number in the series the tougher

Yeah, why wasn't he? Did he have an exclusive deal with Leaf, maybe? He was in their 1949 set.

I don’t think DiMaggio had a deal with anyone in his later playing career. He appears in Leaf and Berk Ross because they were illegal sets that ignored securing people’s rights (which cut the second series of Leaf short, as I understand it, when they got sued). He signed a deal with Bowman for advertising in 1953.
