GM Cards, Even Some Of The Best Get It Wrong.

I still think it's a great card, regardless of the grade.

Chris,
It is absolutely still a beautiful card. Pin holes are my damage of choice. A card hanging from a kids wall is always my favorite thought.

Key man has a great article on them. Like most of his articles it is top tier.
Apparently they were in packs of gum as well, classic.

I did not know Berk Ross was the name of the actual photographer. And on top of that, Berk was believed to have been the official photographer for the 1948-1950 Bowman sets.
