As you'll notice it's off-center. When I first started assembling this set, I didn't care about centering as long as it wasn't miscut. While I still have a preference for sharp corners, I try to upgrade with cards that are around 70/30. The bigger cards, Mantle and Berra will have to remain off-center.

These threads are awesome. Thank all of you who post card pics in them. I still have the first 50s card I ever bought 35+ years ago. Near the end of the month I will be able to post it in this thread.

Where do wax boxes and uncut sheets and panels fit in the thread?

I posted some packs and panel stuff in the 52 and 53 Topps threads at the end, but not sure if there are any official rules. A panel involves 3 players, who is first up on it ?

First one on the sheet is #33 Pee Wee, first one on the panel is #66 Parnell. Bowman makes them easy, all in sequential order.

I said "It rhymes with Harry Chiti" (If Chiti is pronounced like it rymes with how my food tasted..)

Apologies to jump in late and break up the sequential order with a comment on a card earlier in the run, but I got a kick out of seeing that name.

I'll keep an eye going forward and if it needs some additional cards, I go get it out of the safe and start posting. I know that I have a handful of granded cards - mostly in the 4-6 range but I do have a PSA 8 Rizzuto. My mantle is a 5.5. Really awesome thread. It will give me an excuse to look at the cards and go through the 54 as well!

The set slowly rolls along. If other members have 53 Bowman Color, please share them in this thread.

What do you do when you wake up in the middle of the night? Post a 1953 Bowman Carl Erskine on this thread, of course.
