Reflections on 1949 BOWMAN's (25 HOFers, many Rookies)...show-N-tell us of your cards
It's sort of disappointing that this 1949 BOWMAN thread has not received more responses. It's a classic BB card set of 252 cards. The largest color set since the 1933 GOUDEY set.
OH WELL ! Let's see if we can generate some more interest by including the mysterious 1949 BOWMAN Pacific Coast League (PCL) set of 36 cards. Bowman expanded their market to the west coast by introducing the PCL cards. Judging by their design and their colors, my guess is that these 36 cards were printed and issued during the Summer of 1949. In the 1970's and early 1980's, the general consensus in the hobby was that these cards were only issued as sheets, of which the cards were hand-cut. This myth was dismissed in the late 1980's by several finds. Displayed here is the PCL waxpack wrapper. .. ...... extremely rare 1949 PCL wrapper .................................................. ................... regular 5-cent 1949 wrapper . Since the early 1980's, in the process of acquiring all 36 cards Factory-cut, I have completed 3.4 sets of these PCL cards. Here is page #1 (of 3 pages) in my 1949 BOWMAN album. . ... Factory-cut .. .. .. ... .. Hand-cut Stay tuned for more 1949 PCL stuff....which includes my first "big deal" with Alan "Mr Mint" Rosen....and, my PCL find. And, if you have some of these very "rare gems", don't be shy, share them with us. TED Z T206 Reference . Last edited by tedzan; 12-02-2019 at 07:48 PM. Reason: Added information. |
