Amazing cards.
It really is impossible to overstate how incredible Roy Campanella was...3x MVP during an MLB career that lasted <10 years. You can watch Vin Scully's famous call in 1957 when 93k Dodgers' fans lit matches to pay tribute to Roy after his accident: https://youtu.be/XfXB_THdp3o |

Out of curiosity could anyone explain why Campanella's hat, does not contain the Dodgers logo and instead is just a blank blue cap? Looks like Bowman painted over whatever logo was on his hat with a dark shade of blue paint!
I didn't even know of the PCL set before discovering this thread! You learn something new everyday!

I have seen the photo used to make the card and if my memory serves me right, it is a Montreal cap.

Reflections on 1949 BOWMAN's (25 HOFers, many Rookies)...show-N-tell us of your cards
Many of the SLATE cards are Hand-Cut from 36-card uncut sheets. However, a good number of these printing anomalies are also Factory-Cut.
The examples displayed here are the tougher Hi # cards in the set. These Hi # SLATE's are considerably tougher to find than the Lo # Slate's. TED Z T206 Reference . |

Reflections on 1949 BOWMAN's (25 HOFers, many Rookies)...show-N-tell us of your cards
In the Spring of 1949, us young dudes were mystified to get card #73 (Billy Cox) in the first series of 36 cards....but no card #4.
This 1st series uncut sheet tells the story. --------#1---------------#2-----------------#3-----------------#73----------------#5--------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please excuse the bifurcation of this 36-card sheet, as my Scanner is not large enough to scan the complete sheet.

This set is my current obsession. I've completed the first four series except for the Jackie. Working on series 5 and have about a third of them so far.
Frustrating to hear this might be the toughest series to complete. I like working sets by series. Finish one before moving on yo the next. My reasonable expectation is that I will finish the set within the next year minus the big five (Jackie, Satchel, Snider, Ashburn, Doby) and then figure out a way to accumulate funds to knock those off. That may take many more years. |

What an entertaining thread. I don’t own any 49 Bowman cards, but that may soon change. I did happen to notice from the images posted that the Augie Galen card seems to be a colorized version of his 48 Bowman card (which I am somewhat familiar with after having completed that particular set)
I should also add that I find the first-hand accounts of collecting these cards as they were issued incredibly interesting. Thanks for resurrecting this thread! Cheers, Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Right now I have completed the first four series cards (except for Jackie) and have the first twelve cards from the fifth series. Working to add cards 157-179 right now. I'm very methodical. It's the only way to satisfy my OCD (obsessive card disorder) and give some sense of accomplishment as I go along.

1949 BOWMAN cards......
For us NY Yankees fans, the 1949 season was a tremendous year, and a tremendous team. Besides Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto,
Allie Reynolds, Vic Raschi, etc....there was Joe Page's tremendous Relief performances and Johnny Lindell's (end of September) Playoff HR in the 9th inning to beat the Red Sox for the American League Championship. TED Z T206 Reference . |
