Default From Reddit: 1950 almost completely signed Bowman set

FROM REDDIT:

This 1950s Bowman Set – Nearly All Autographed (98%) & Framed – Seeking Thoughts, Value & Next Steps

Hey everyone,

My brother and I recently inherited something truly special from our father—a complete set of 1950s Bowman baseball cards. The set is nearly *entirely* autographed, with only three cards unsigned. Every card is mounted in sequential order and framed in two separate display pieces.

Some standout players included (just to name a few):

* **Mel Parnell RC (#1)**
* **Bob Feller (#6)**
* **Phil Rizzuto (#11)**
* **Warren Spahn (#19)**
* **Pee Wee Reese (#21)**
* **Jackie Robinson (#22)**
* **Don Newcombe RC (#23)**
* **Yogi Berra (#46)**
* **Roy Campanella (#75)**
* **Duke Snider (#77)**
* **Ted Williams (#98)**

We believe the cards are from the 1950 Bowman set, and again, all but three are signed. They appear to have been stored/displayed carefully for decades.

We’d really appreciate your thoughts on:

1. **Potential value range** (or if anyone’s seen something comparable)
2. **Best path forward** (grading/authentication, auction house, private sale, keep, etc.)
3. **How framing/mounting may impact value**

Posting a few photos and happy to post as few more if requested. Thanks in advance for any guidance!
