My three favorite guys in this set......

When I was a kid, our local Candy store never had these BOWMAN's. We rode our bikes to a pharmacy a mile away to buy them. I put down a Quarter
and purchased 25 cards. When I opened one of the 1-cent wax-packs and found Yogi, I was thrilled.
Regarding the topic here, that is a lot of $$$$ for this set. Including approx. $1600 for 48 pieces of plastic adds insult to injury.
In 2001, I sold my 2nd set (condition similar to my 3 samples shown here) for $400. Perhaps, I should have kept that set
Showing-off here some more goodies in my collection.
