When I was a kid, our local Candy store never had these BOWMAN's. We rode our bikes to a pharmacy a mile away to buy them. I put down a Quarter
and purchased 25 cards. When I opened one of the 1-cent wax-packs and found Yogi, I was thrilled.

Regarding the topic here, that is a lot of $$$$ for this set. Including approx. $1600 for 48 pieces of plastic adds insult to injury.

In 2001, I sold my 2nd set (condition similar to my 3 samples shown here) for $400. Perhaps, I should have kept that set


Showing-off here some more goodies in my collection.

Ted, your collection amazes me. The other card I really like in this set is Spahn.
