Any more 1950 Bowman errors/variations?

Thanks for the response Rich. I’ve looked through scan of lots of Jensen cards and personally decided that the blue/black cap difference is simply a slight difference in color quality for that particular card and don’t consider it a variation. Looks like there’s all sorts of shades from dark blue to black depending on how good the color quality of the printing is.

The no copyrights 181-250 were tough for me and for some reason the lower numbered no copyrights in that range are very scarce. I did end up with 4 Papais because the blue streak ( or lack of it) can be found on both copyright and no copyright versions.

Agree on the Jensen

Seconded, the first print block of the 181-252 sequences is much, much tougher without the copyright than the second block. I still haven’t finished all of them, I need 9 of them still. It’s a fun master set because those take some effort and time but are not expensive and there aren’t any hugely expensive names in the higher numbers.


Also agree with everyone else on Jansen, it’s not a variation just differing ink levels. My checklist has no other variations for 1950 besides the 4 Papai’s, for whatever that’s worth.

And if you want a challenge beyond the no copyrights you could pursue these
