I paid $6 for this lot of 1952 Bowman cards. No, I'm not trying to complete the 1952 Bowman set, but at just over a buck apiece I couldn't pass them up. There are a couple of familiar names here in Vic Wertz and Sal Magie, Also included are Monte Kennedy, Vern Bickford, and Frank Baumholtz.
With these 5 I probably have enough to fill a 9 card page. I should try to do a Bowman Page-A-Year binder.
I just realized that the offer for a "$1.00 value Baseball Cap of your favorite major league team by sending 5 wrappers and 50 cents to Bowman Baseball, P.O. Box 234 New York 23, N.Y." does not have an expiration date. Now to just get my hands on some wrappers.
Hard to pass these up for the price. Love the backgrounds on early 50's Bowmans.
ReplyDeleteGreat pickup. Unfortunately New York 23 is no longer a valid address. I suppose you might try mailing to Bowman/Topps's current address.
