My new find: Uncut 1949 Bowman Low Number Sheet
 
Posted By: <b>Joey</b><p>Although I have picked up many really nice vintage cards, this is by FAR the best find I have ever uncovered. I work in home health and noticed this at a patients home. I told them how neat the piece was and they gave it to me as a gift for all the help I have given them over the years. The patient told me he picked it up at a yard sale years ago and was ready to give it a new home. Still cannot believe he chose me:) <br />Welcome, the new cornerstone of my collection: <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1113261727.JPG"> <br /><br />Although it will never be sold, I am a little curious as to possible scarcity and value. Thanks for looking!

Posted By: <b>jackgoodman</b><p>Great pick-up! I'm always amazed that with all the publicity this hobby has received over the past 5-10 years, that people still don't recognize what they have sitting around their homes or in their attics. Thanks for the photo.

Posted By: <b>WP</b><p>Great sheet is the back printed correctly or is it the triple overprint variety?

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Great piece! I would guess it is worth several thousand dollars, but others here could probably give a better estimate on uncut sheets.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>You said that the backs of the cards on this 1949 Bowman sheet<br />are not overprinted. Then this particular sheet is pretty rare.<br />Typically, these sheets are overprinted with the bios from the<br />3rd sheet in the 1949 Bowman set. Quite a few of these sheets<br />have surfaced in the hobby the past 35 years. I have one and it<br />is overprinted; therefore, it very difficult to place a value<br />on it. Since the back of yours is "clean", using a Price Guide,<br />you can determine the value of it yourself. Of course, you have<br />to consider the condition of each individual card in your eval-<br />uation. With HOF guys like Musial, Doerr, Feller, Kiner, Spahn<br />& Reese on this sheet, you'll be surprised how valuable an item<br />that you have. What this sheet will sell for is another story.<br />Collectors of uncut sheets (like me) are willing to pay a extra<br />premium for such a great piece of BB card history.<br />

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>A baseball theme in red, white and blue - it is even the approximate shape of the flag. How American is that.<br /><br />Although it may look better if you cut off one column (oh no!).
