Anyone collect '50 Bowman?

[jared6180]

Just found this website and just found this thread. I really like the 1950 Bowman set. The best part are the colors and art, plus centering doesn't seem to be as terrible as consistently as other sets. I would love to do this set and if I do I am starting with Jackie Robinson and a couple other more expensive guys, then chase some commons and finish up. I want all min in PSA holders, but I'm not a competitor, my overall set grade may be 2.5-3, it is about completing it!

I agree. It is a very "doable" set. I like the look and the manageable player selection as well. It is on my to do list. I had actually waved the white flag on set building, but I just can't get it out of my system. Right now, it is '56 Topps, but I will get to '50 Bowman in time. Best of luck in your pursuit of this great looking set!

Make sure to use comc.com and make offers.

I have been known to accept offers of up to 50% off in the past...

With COMC now being over run with Dean's Cards does anybody know if they accept offers and if so do they have a set %.

The 50 Bowman looks like a nice set to go after for your fist set, good luck. I am trying the 55 Bowman as my first vintage set now. So far I have a little over 80% and have bought, traded, and was given every one of them from fellow members. With the few I have left I have made it a goal to get 100% of the set from fellow members.

Dean's is not accepting offers through COMC. I just tried to offer on a $50 card and the minimum offer permitted was $50. D'oh.

Yes there is great bunch of people on this site. I buy almost all my vintage cards off this site and with way over 100 transactions have only ever had 1 not go through after a deal was supposed to be completed.

Started a WTB thread, hoping to pick up a few PSA graded cards
