Default 1949 Bowman uncut sheets

Jonathan,

Thanks for the note. I have talked to Ted Z. about 49's before and bought a few from him. He seems to be the godfather of the 49 Bowman set, so I have talked to him in the past. I didn't reach out on these.

But since I posted this note, I have done a little research as well. I probably got a bit excited and paid a fair price for the sheets on the base price of the auction, but the auctioneer charges a big BP and shipping so I am probably into them for too much. I am collector and more of a hoarder, so I am not a seller in general. But I would probably sell some or all of these. Here is the link to the Huggins & Scott auction I recently won. You will see that they are double-printed on back, which is probably why they survived as a partial sheet:

I found a 2011 REA auction of the same subjects (9 X 4 = 36 card sheet) with the same error (double-printed backs). I don't know if the 2011 auction sheet was cut into smaller pieces to get the Musial graded or if these are part of a separate sheet and survived as 4 and 6 card blocks. The auction link below is to the 2011 36-card example, not the ones I bought.

Anyway, as I said, I probably got too euphoric on these and would be willing to part with some or all if someone has a great interest.

Tony
