Posted By: Griffin'sNice sheet Ted! If the color is as rich and saturated as it comes up on my monitor it must be stunning. I've got the more common low series one with the double printing on the back, but it's not nearly as colorful. Here's a low series '41 sheet- <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/griffins/1941playball/PBSheet%20copy.jpg">

Posted By: Robert SFound it at last year's National (another board member grabbed the other two). This one may be a bit too long even though I shrank the image size by 50%. So, shrink further or remove if you wish, Leon: <img src="http://www.vintageball.com/W573strip_re.jpg"> So, do I use a scissors or an exacto knife to cut these? ....Just kidding....<img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: barrysloateRobert- that is a fantastic piece. I wonder how it has remained in such nice condition considering its shape. It looks like a fold out postcard but doesn't seem to have a single bend in it. Pretty cool!

Posted By: Robert SAll three of the W strip card strips the seller had were stored rolled up. I left this one rolled up, should it be flattened and framed? When laid flat it curls a bit, but not much.

Posted By: ClintTed, I'm still drooling over that 52 Bowman Large sheet. As a kid I loved the Bowman issues but couldn't afford the baseball cards. Nobody wanted football cards back then so I was able to get them cheap. That truely is a treasure, great piece. -Clint

Posted By: Ted ZanidakisYou must be referring to the early '80s when FB and BasketBall cards were going very cheap. I found this 1952 FB sheet in a Hobby store in Media, PA in 1984. In addition, I acquired all the Bowman BB sheets from the same store. An employee at this store had a family member, who worked for the old Bowman Gum Co. If you're interested, I wrote an article on the 1952 Bowman (LARGE) FB set in the SCD issue of Jan 3, 1986. TED Z

Posted By: Ted ZanidakisThis is the 3rd series of 36 cards in this set....notice that 17 of the cards are short at least two color passes in the printing process. The SLATE colored backgrounds should be either ORANGE or GREEN pastel colors. The 1949 Bowman set comprises of many Rookie cards and HOFers......in this series we have HOFers Campy, Mize, Rizzuto and hopefully (this March) Gil Hodges. The cards of Campy and Hodges are also their Rookie cards. <img src="http://www.freephotoserver.com/v001/tedzan/a49_3bowman.jpg"> TED Z collection

Posted By: fkwI also have a couple of the W573 strips, I have the Groh-Sheely and also a Schultz-Gowdy. A few years back I also had one that had the Alexander on it. I have owned 4-5 of them over the years and at least 2 were obtained rolled up. I dont think the strips were sold to kids this way. I have always thought the strips (cards) came out of a machine of some type one at a time and torn off. Thats why so many of the W501, W573, W575-1 cards are found with slightly angled rough cut top and bottom borders. The 2 W573 strips I own are framed together and were part of the Barry Halper auction.

Posted By: Ted ZanidakisI forgot to answer you......the colors are actually more vivid on my 4th series Bowman sheet than the scan shows. Now, my question for you......regarding your neat 1941 Play Ball sheet, is it the "paper" issue ? If so, I thought that GUM, Inc. issued this as a 24-card adv. piece; which included Ted Williams ? So, is yours a partial sheet......or, where there two 12-card sheets ? TED Z

Posted By: Griffin'sTed- Yes, it's the paper issue. As far as I can tell, there were 2 sheets of 12 printed- 1-12, and 13-24. I've seen 5 of the first 12 offered in the last 7 years, and 2 of the second 12. I've never seen a sheet with all 24.
