[Misunderestimated]

I think that this was a good buy given the market direction The graded Hall of Fame Rookie Card premium makes it a set with considerable upside. Also, it's not like there are a lot of nice 48 Bowmans out there that will tilt the supply once they get graded.... This could/will impact the newer rookies that are selling at higher prices everyday especially those from the "wax junk era" -- many many more of them are getting graded as we speak.< Check out prices on 1988 Fleer John Smoltz >

Okay that's my "investor" schtick... As a collector these cards are not very appealing although they have a certain minimalist appeal. Bowman was just starting out and didn't include very many subjects and not every team is represented. Moreover, they did not include the two biggest names available at the time: Ted WIilliams and Joe Dimaggio. Nor does it include the most important newcomer: Jackie Robinson.
