packs of 1948 Bowman BB cards.

Thanks, Ted. I knew the basics of how that set was printed, but it's nice to have all the details, and that uncut sheet is great. I thought I remembered that you were collecting as a kid in 1948, so it's great to get your firsthand reminiscences to supplement the stuff I posted.
