Fred YI made the leap & sent my '50 Bowman complete set to SGC for grading.
This is a set like my '52 Bowman Large (shown in the '52 Thread) that was put together back in the day & has been virtually untouched to this day. I sent it in for grading w/out ever having upgraded or changed a single card, as I wanted to see how it would fare in today's world--warts and all!
These were bought, played with and stored away in cigar boxes w/ rubber bands around them, altho I did put some cardboard on top & bottom of each stack. (Lord only knows why I did that!)
Anyhow, they came back 100% graded, w/ the average grade in the SGC 80-6 range--a few GOOD-VG and many were SGC 84-86-88. I did get 1 in MINT 9.
Below are just a few I scanned to show, including #1 & #144, but if anyone has a question, comment or would like to see any other card I will be happy to accomodate. Both sets are listed in the SGC Set Registry.
