How rare are 1950 Bowman without copyright?
 

Does anyone know how rare the 1950 Bowman cards from 181-252 without the copyright line are? I bought a 1950 Bowman set a number of years ago and was looking at it today and noticed that only 2 of the cards in it were missing the copyright line. I don't know if the person who put it together was intentionally trying to get cards with the copyright or not. Are they that hard to find without the copyright line?

I did all of the high number Cubs in both versions and I don’t recall any being difficult but I think one version was more plentiful than the other but I don’t remember which was which.

SCD says without copyright is less common, but I was surprised that the set I bought only had 2 without the copyright.

The no copyright cards are harder to find. They are not too tough above 200, but pretty tough below that.

The no copyright cards from sheet 6 of the 7 can be a pain. I’m still working on that set. Sheet/presumed series 7 is a lot easier to find the no copyrights.

Sheet 6: 181-216

Sheet 7: 217-252

There are 4 versions of card 245 Papai. I think I posted them in the variations thread. The arc versions are tough in both copyright and non copyright

No copyrights 181 to 216 in my experience are much tougher than 217- 252

Al, what's the different versions of Papai? There's too much posted in the variations thread to try to find if you posted them there.

It's too bad that thread is so daunting now becuase it has some great stuff in it

Thanks, Al.

I still need both of the Papai variants. Not insanely difficulty, but a challenge.

Judging by the first 50 Bowman Papai error card it looks like the blue line begins and ends in the Papai card and doesn’t extend into any bordering cards.

Welp, two more I need that I didn't know about.

I was going through my 1950 set yesterday. It appears I have more “no copyright” than I expected.

I finally finished the no copyrights and can confirm as mentioned above that 181-216 are much tougher than 217 to 252.
