1953 Bowman

[Lueth2048]

Were the 1953 Bowman's issued in any kind of series? Are there any high numbers in either set? Were the B & W issued at the same time as the color set or were they a completely different issue?

113-160 are considered the high numbers and are harder to find, especially centered copies. The Feller, Ford, Berra, and Snider especially.
They were done in series but no hard and firm dates from what I have read are known. There are several examples of guys who started the year with a team but when his card was released he was with a different team. Which means that they did have "series".
In the most recent SMR fromPSA there is a great article about that set.
