1949 Bowman Variations

[Sliphorn]

I am pasting in scans of pairs of the 12 cards that were re issued with the the last series in the 1949 Bowman set. Notice that there are numerous changes in shifting (Murtaugh, Fitzgerald, and Evans along with color differences. Salkeld has a red B on his hat on one version while Zoldak has a red Indian on one version. Priddy is more toward the front in one version and Mize has yellow striping on his uniform in one version.

Thanks for the info and scans. You might want to also post this in prewar, pre 1980. There are a bunch of variation infected folks over there

[1963Topps Set]

You could ask Leon to move it, or you could just start a new thread with the same post in the other forum

In 1949, Bowman printed their sheets in 36-card formats. The 7th (last) sheet included only 24 subjects, so they added 12 cards from their early series to fill-out this sheet.
Name boxes were added on their fronts of these re-printed cards and certain re-printed cards' background colors were changed to conform to the design of the 7th sheet.


Here is my concept of how this 7th sheet was formatted. I have numerous (back) overprints which verify the placements of 33 cards on this sheet (Dillinger, Fitzgerald, and
Salkeld card locations are yet unknown).

The " ? " notations indicate unknown card placement.
