Ted, always like seeing your Bowman ephemera, the 49 set seems quite prone to weird printing problems, maybe that's why they switched printers to Zabel?

I only have this oddity:

Hi Dave

You are correct.

In a conversation I had with Howard Moll in 1981, he said that the George Moll Advertising Agency (who produced the PLAY BALL's and BOWMAN's) switched to Zabel Bros.
printing firm (circa late 1949) in order to improve the quality of their Sports and Non-Sports cards.
