Default Anyone collect '50 Bowman?

Every time I say that I won't build another set, I change my mind. It seems pretty doable, it is relatively small, no big error cards, etc. It does have some nice looking cards and several HOFers. Do any of you have any thoughts on this set or any experiences with it? This is one I believe I could/would complete.

Honestly, I have been pretty rudderless lately. Outside of some additions to a small Ted Williams collection, I have really not achieved much of anything. I have contemplated some projects (like Cardinals team sets) but haven't gotten going on anything else. I have gotten too good at starting and abandoning projects. I tend to like everything 1950s, and I think that is part of my problem...

Default Bowman 1950

I have done a Bowman run, 48-55, but 50 may be my least favorite of those sets

The low numbers in '50 were surprisingly tough. Paul Stark told me once that he thought they were as tough as '52 highs, and while I don't completely agree with him it did take longer than I would've thought.

I agree with Anthony but if are not looking for high grades it is not tough at all.

I am a mid grade guy, so it wouldn't be too bad hopefully if I opt to go that route.

I am a few short of completing, but the remaining 17 or so are all high dollar HOFers. I think by cost/value, I have more in front of me than behind me.
