Default 1949 Bowman color errors
These Bowman printing errors are fun to find. And, unlike other "printer's scrap" cards, many of these cards were found in Bowman Gum wax packs.
As a very young kid in 1949, I recall opening up Bowman 5-cent packs and occassionally finding a color error card such as these.











1948 Bowman BasketBall


Your Doby card was printed with a Yellow background color; and, is a tough Hi# (#233) card. The SLATE version that you have is quite rare.
