The early Bowmans--especially 1950-- also present centering challenges above the norm for me.

EDIT: (I just realized this wrote this in the POST WWII forum - apologies - I saw the other pre-war cards and got jazzed).
I just dove back into collecting (first purchases since I was a kid in the 90s) after a few beers last night.
I love the Diamond Stars. So I grabbed a Bill Dickey that’s not in great shape and a decent looking Sam Rice. I’m starting with HOF from sets that I dig and I’m trying to spend less than 35 dollars a pop to start. I also grabbed a 1953 Bowman Roy Campanella.
Color and Clarity of the fronts are what I particularly enjoy and I’m even partial to interesting markings made along the way by kids, etc.
I’m excited and hopeful that I’ll be happy once I get my goods (sellers accept returns).
Any specific watch-outs or tips regarding the Diamond Stars is and will be much appreciated.
Excited to find this forum and dive back into the hobby! I’ll post images once I have them!
