Thanks for posting the article Ted. I started collecting in 1957 at age 7, so started and stayed with Topps. The 53 Bowman color set is the only Bowman set I have put together. I did it recently, mostly for the Musial who did not make his appearance on Topps cards until 1958. I really like the set. I do have an unopened 1953 Topps pack, but no 53 Bowman pack or wrapper
