Reflections on 1949 BOWMAN's (25 HOFers, many Rookies)...show-N-tell us of your cards

[Rich Klein]

Just a quick note, I finally had some time to go through this thread. I'm going to create the slate listings for the COMC data base and eventually see if we have had to move over. Any help building the checklist is very appreciated.

(Ted, FYI -- I sent you an email about this and what I believe was what happened to Dan's health before his untimely passing.) Let me know via email or PM and any help with both of these is appreciated.

Hi Rich

I received your email about Dan Paley. Very sad. I've known Dan since 1981. And, interestingly we met over this topic, 1949 BOWMAN's. Danny and I for many years (1984 -2011)
traveled together to Cooperstown to set up at the HOF weekend Show at the VFW Hall. A really interesting guy, who was our local expert regarding BB cards Errors & Variations.

I'll see what I can come up with for you regarding a 1949 BOWMAN checklist of SLATE cards.

Wishing you and your wife very Happy Holidays.

Hi Rich

Here's my list you requested. It's the result of collecting (and tracking) these elusive SLATE cards since 1981. Listed are 64 cards, and 46 of them are in my 3rd set of 1949 BOWMAN's.
The Hi #s (#145 - 240, plus the 12 variations) are very rare. Many of them are one of a kind. Although, some years ago, I once owned two Duke Snider cards.

Thanks Ted! All in the COMC Database now. I'll do a search to see if we have ever had more than the one card so far ID'd ever sent in which was slate.
