Default Hi # series....7th sheet (simulation)

As noted earlier, to the best of my knowledge, the 7th sheet of the 1949 Bowman set has yet to be discovered. I've arranged these 36 cards based on my research.



.................................................. .................................................. ....................................^------------------^




There are 12 new Rookie cards introduced on this sheet. And, 4 of them are HOFers.






Five retired players are included on this sheet. George McQuinn has a great story....in the twilight of his BB career of how he "sparked" the NY
Yankees into winning the AL Pennant in 1947. That June, he was the AL batting leader (.392). His defensive play at 1st base was outstanding.








HOFer's in the 12 re-printed variations





For more detailed information regarding this enigmatic BB card set, check-out the 1949 Bowman article in the Spring 1983 issue of BASEBALL CARDS magazine
authored by Ralph Triplette and Ted Zanidakis.
