Let's see some uncut sheets....any sheet from 1887 - 1967

As noted earlier, to the best of my knowledge, the 7th sheet of the 1949 Bowman set has yet to be discovered. I've arranged these 36 cards based on my research.



.................................................. .................................................. ....................................^------------------^




There are 12 new Rookie cards introduced on this sheet. And, 4 of them are HOFers.






Five retired players are included on this sheet. George McQuinn has a great story....in the twilight of his BB career of how he "sparked" the NY
Yankees into winning the AL Pennant in 1947. That June, he was the AL batting leader (.392). His defensive play at 1st base was outstanding.







HOFer's in the 12 re-printed variations





For more detailed information regarding this enigmatic BB card set, check-out the 1949 Bowman article in the Spring 1983 issue of BASEBALL CARDS magazine
authored by Ralph Triplette and Ted Zanidakis.

Sportscard collectors (young and older) had a tough time trying to complete the 1948 BOWMAN Football set. The 1st series of 36 cards were available early in the Fall of '48.
The top line on the backs of these cards read...."NO. x IN A SERIES OF 108". However, the cards were issued "skip-numbered". A clever marketing trick that we know was in
the 1933 GOUDEY set and the 1949 LEAF BB set. BOWMAN issued this set in 3 series....the 3rd series cards were short-printed. If you were persistent in completing this set,
you would have accomplished it by December 1948.

I was lucky to have all 3 uncut sheets of this set (diagramed here on the 2nd page of this SCD article). Therefore, I wrote this article.
