Here are the 55 Bowmans - and yes there are a BUNCH of them. I would grade these in the VG-EX range, some are going to be a bit better and others are going to be slightly worse. Again, trying to sort them out as best as I can by condition. Sorry this post will be scan heavier as a lot of 55's to show.

Here is the list - I already have a back up of people wanting these so ..send me a note if interested but sorry, they might already be gone.

Here are the better players to start out.

#29 Red Schoendiest - $4
#60 Enos Slaughter - Pink print border on left wax mark? on back - $3
#68 Elston Howard RC - $14
#70 Lew Burdette Small wax glob on front - $2

#98 Jim Gilliam - $3
#130 Richie Ashburn - light creasing on left side surface - $6
#143 Don Newcombe - $3
#158 Gil Hodges - Appears to be light pencil writing "14" on rear neat left side very small - $7

Commons - $1 - These all have pencil writing on the back it is normally a star, or "14"

2- -9 -11 - 30 -32 - 53 - 58 - 66 - 92 - 99 - 101 - 112 - 1123 - 115 - 116 - 132 - 135 - 159 - 161 - 162 - 170 - 175 - 177 - 185 - 187 - 188 - 191 - 211- 212 - 217 - 218 - 221 - 222 - 304

Variations! Each Pair - $5

Bolling front - with both Milt Bolling and Frank Bolling Backs #48

Johnson front - two different photos - both with Ernie Johnson backs - #157

Time for some 52 Bowmans!

These are rougher than a lot of the other offerings thus far, and should be priced accordingly.

I would grade most of these cards at VG- Some VG-EX a couple of lots listed later below will be worse

Here are the better players

#4 Robin Roberts - $7
#21 Nellie Fox - couple of light surface creases - $4
#53 Richie Ashburn - $9
#142 - Early Wynn, light crease, "J" writen on pen on back - $3
#162 Monte Irvin - Heavy crease through center - $3
#252 Frank Crosetti -surface crease upper right side and last in the set! - $8

Nicer Commons - These are more in the VG-EX range mainly( some will be a bit nicer I am not going to kid you, I might have missed a small crease here or there so a few might be more like VG.) but priced to move at $2.25 each

3 - 9 - 16 - 17 - 18 - 20 - 35 - 42 - 45 - 46 - 47 - 49 - 50 - 51 - 54 - 55 - 58 - 59 - 66 - 71 - 147 - 149 - 150 - 155 - 158 - 159 - 163 - 165 - 166 - 166 - 169 - 174 - 174 - 182 - 183 - 186 - 187 - 192 - 194 - 195 - 200- 201 - 201 - 205 - 206 - 211 - 212

Nicer high number commons - not many but I don't think they will last long at $7 each

220 -221 - 222 - 238 - 243 - 243 - 247 - 248 - 249 -

Rougher Commons - These will typically have problems with poor centering, light surface crease (nothing too noticeable) but still not in horrible shape - $1 each

6 - 15 -24 - 39 - 41 - 167 - 175 - 180 - 194 - 200 - 207-

Higher number rougher commons - $2 each

228 - 234 - 241

I'll take the Well loved '55 Bowmans

Golfcollector · #5 08-06-2011, 08:35 AM

Here are the 1953 Topps. The good news is there is quite a few of them. The bad news is the majority of cards have a letter "B" written in pen right next to the number (see representative scan) I will have these broken out as with all the lots as accurate as I can be.

Most of these cards are going to be in the G to VG range ( and this is not accounting for pen marks)

Better Player cards

#10 Smoky Burgess - Couple of light creases - $4
#61 Early Wynn - Light surface crease on right side - $10
#78 - Red Schoendienst - Light D written in pencil on back - $8
#81 - Joe Black - B written in Pen on back - crease bottom right part of card - $7
104 Yogi Berra - crease bottom left some paper loss on front Letter B written in pen on back (see scans) $25
#138 - George Kell - crease in bottom, Letter B in Pen on reverse - $8
#151 Hoyt Wilhelm - Letter B in pen on back otherwise nice - $10
Whitey Ford - crease top to bottom in middle another small surface crease - $25
#210 Bob Cerv - Much like the Kiner - nicer than most! - $8
#258 Jim Gilliam RC - High Number RC very good condition - $40

Nicer Commons

These I would categorize as VG with no flaws - clean backs just a little rough handling around the edges typical of a VG card

The following Commons priced at $3.50 each -

11 - 20 - 24 - 34 - 35 - 38 - 55 - 64 - 105 - 131 - 142 - 144 - 145 - 156

The following Commons priced at $4 each

176 - 178 - 180 - 183 - 185 - 187 - 192 - 194 - 196 - 201 - 209 - 218 - 219

The following High Number commons priced at $10 each

221 - 223 - 226 - 227 - 229 - 231 - 232 - 236 - 237 - 239 - 240 - 242 - 256 - 262 - 272

The following commons are a bit rougher. Most got moved to this pile as they have some sort of surface crease (although not too noticable) they will still present well but I have priced a bit lower at $2 each - including a couple of high numbers

111 - 198 -

Time for some 53 Bowman Color

These are overall a rougher bunch. Most of the cards have pencil on the back, and or the owners name stamped with a black ink stamper (too bad they don't say Jeff Burdick!) Guess I would grade them G to VG in most instances

Pricing these to move at 5-10% of Beckett in most cases. These are rough but still tough cards and they have decent eye appeal. I have provided scans of almost all of the better players listed. Commons will be similar in quality and actually even a bit nicer in most cases

Better Players - all scanned except Roberts

#10 Richie Ashburn - Clean front centered off to one side, back has stamp - $6
#18 - Nelson Fox - Slight inch long surface crease on left border, clean back - $12
#46 Roy campanella, Crease on bottom right, back has stamp and pencil and greenish star -$12
#51 Monte Irvin - Heavy Creasing - slight pencil on back - $4
#55 Leo Durocher - creasing on bottom green "HX" on back - $4
#57 Lou Boudreau - Clean front stamp on back - $4
#61 George Kell - surface crease bottom right, clean back - $6
#65 Robin Roberts- creasing on front small size paper loss on front - $5
#80 Ralph Kiner - Clean front Pencil "X" on back - $6
#92 Gil Hodges - small crease right lower area, pencil BK and X on back - $20
#97 - Eddie Matthews - Heavy creasing on front, top border damage, back stamped and also BK in pencil - $12
#99 Warren Spahn - Front clean back has stamp and some funky brown stuff (mold)??? Still its Spahnie! - $14
#114 Bob Feller - light crease bottom center and upper left back has BK and X in pencil - $24
#121 Yogi Berra - front has crease bottom right , centered to one side back has stamp and BK in pencil - $30
#153 Whitey Ford - Pretty Heavy creasing, back clean - $30
#160 Cal Abrams - Last card in the set! surface crease on left side bottom border /rip damage - $10

Better Commons - not perfect by any means, fronts may have slight creasing, backs are all clean - Priced to move at $3 a card
43 - 54 - 66 - 67 - 77 - 79 - 86 - 87 - 94 - 95 - 110 -

Rougher Commons -
These will all have either pencil on back, a stamp of the owners name on back or both, there will also be some that have some light front creasing from time to time, but these are still presentable especially at $1.25 each

7- 8 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 - 16 - 22 - 23 - 26 - 28 - 34 - 37 - 42 - 48 - 49 - 60 - 63 - 64 - 71 - 72 - 73 - 74 - 78 - 83 - 84 - 111

Same as above but high numbers! - $2 each
136 - 140 - 142 - 158

The 'Rough Riders"

This is the so called rest of the rest, will have heavy creasing , writing on back, basically just worse than the above common piles. - Priced to move - take em all for $9

17 - 45 - 47 - 68 - 70 - 104 - 109 - 113 - 122 - 131 - 135 - 137
