I think a great many of them were handcut from sheets. However, Ted has testified before that he remembers as a kid pulling slate variations straight from the pack.

Photo may be tiny... but here’s a sheet of mine with slate background which also has the “ pink” background and colors ( rather than stark red). If Ted agrees.

Some of us old dudes who collected these BOWMAN cards recall opening waxpacks and getting various color errors. I vividly recall (as if it were just yesterday) opening a pack in the Summer of 1949 and finding a Phil Rizzuto with a "golden" yellow background color (instead of the normal orange color). I was very excited about this, since Phil Rizzuto lived only 2 blocks away from our home. And, was a really friendly guy. Here is an example of a Factory cut SLATE card....Muncrief ![]() TED Z T206 Reference . |

Does this look hand cut?

Besides the BB cards, the 1948 BOWMAN Basketball cards can also be found with SLATE backgrounds.
Here is an uncut Hi # sheet (cards #37 - 72) in which all the players are SLATE...... ![]() TED Z T206 Reference . |
