Living overseas and trying to put together a '49 Bowman set

Hi everybody,

I've been lurking on these boards for a few months now and have really enjoyed the discussions and information presented.

Here's my situation, I'm an American guy living/working in Hong Kong and trying to put together a non-PSA/BGS/ect. graded set of 1949 Bowman Baseball cards (NM condition). eBay has been a good source for cards, but with mixed results...

I've also found '49 Bowmans from the below websites:
- Dave's Vintage Baseball Cards (https://www.gfg.com/baseball/bowman49.shtml)
- Gar Miller Cards (http://baseball-cards.net/)
- Clean Sweep Auctions (http://www.csauctions.com/)
- Wayne Varner's Shoebox (http://www.wvshoeboxcards.com/)
- Mike Wheat Baseball Cards (http://www.blogger.com/www.mikewheatcards.com)
- Kit Young Baseball Cards (http://www.kityoung.com/)

Are there any other dealers/websites out there that you can recommend?

I'm happy to deal via email with attached scans...

Thanks in advance for the help!

Just a thought, you can buy graded cards and crack them out so the card is now raw. Many people do that. I'm sure you'll find many more examples graded in NM condition than raw NM. Whether the card is in a penny sleeve, top loader, screw-down, or slab, its still the card you are buying.

Good luck with your set, Ryan!
