Did the seller tout the card as being "undergraded"?? Because on first look that one actually seems to be. Awesome pickup.

It looks like Shibe Park's outfield wall.
Found this info online from an SCD article By John McMurray Because of its distinguishing horizontal design showing players as if they were appearing on a large, brown-bordered color television set, the 1955 Bowman baseball cards are among the most recognizable ever made. Apparently inspired in part by the 1950 Drakes baseball cards, which also employed a television-set presentation, the ’55 Bowman baseball cards represented an obvious departure from the understated styles which both Topps and Bowman generally used throughout the 1950s. With many images of catchers about to field a pop up, Stan Lopata (No. 18) being a good representative example, and pitchers from the waist up about to begin their windups, such as No. 152 Johnny Klippstein, the 1955 Bowman cards are sometimes remembered for their consistently similar player poses, ostensibly all from photographs taken at Shibe Park in Philadelphia.

I had been sitting on about 25/80 since college. What got me going almost 30 years later were three things--
1. Unexpectedly stumbling on 5-6 more at my local card shop. 2. Having a couple years to kill before I'm ready to throw down on Ruth and Gehrig. 3. The awesome PBS documentary that just came out. Am getting to around 70 shortly if a couple current bids hold up. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327A using Tapatalk

Clemente
Congrats on the Clemente rookie, David. A classic! That is one on my list for sure.
Nice other pickups, gentlemen.

I'm late to the party, so congratz on your '52 Mantle! The mother load of all cards. Thanx Kris for the Clemente comment. . I'm not even bothered by the (MC) either as it is a common issue with these. Don't see too many card shops anymore and to have a shop here in town have one is pretty rare in its own context.

Now up to 71/80 with yesterday's mailbag. Some creases and soft corners but am happy to be building this set on a very small budget.
A bit of an oddity. My binder has 9 pages, and each is missing exactly one card.  Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327A using Tapatalk

Grabbed this up from a fellow board member. Slight tilt aside, it's centered pretty nicely...

Clemente
Been working on the Clemente basic the past couple of weeks. I've always admired him and picked up his RC from a board member in the Spring and decided to grab all the basics.... have three more that should be arriving soon, but here is what has arrived:
