1948 bowman

[ALR-bishop]

Pioneer set for Bowman, but the B&Ws do not seem to have the draw of the Leaf colors. Only 48 cards but both high number and SP challenges. The Berra may be a bigger draw than the Musial. One question, was there any gum in those penny packs in 1948 ?

Thanks! That's a great article about the set. I started my collection because it's only 48 cards. My set is # 30 on PSA registry with 5 cards to go.

Gum the size of a 48B. card came IN the pack. Thanks to tedz
