Questions on 53' Bowman sets
Posted By: Pcelli60
I love the 53' Bowman color set. But does anyone buy the argument that it 'busted' the company? Does the switch to B&W in the same year prove this? How about a few thoughts on this..Thanks guys.. |

this small article is from the psa board. and whats said makes more sense. they did stay in business for another 2 years. i think topps just was bigger and bought them out.the topps issues of 54 & 55 had a lot of color and kids probably liked them better. i'm sure someone here bought cards in those years and has an opinion.http://www.psacard.com/articles/article_view.chtml?universeid=314&artid=2209 |

Look at them under a magnifier and you can see all the little dots. I would even guess that these cards cost less to produce than the drawn cards because the drawn cards had full color too and had to be created from photos (and an artist paid to do it). |
