Reflections on 1949 BOWMAN's (25 HOFers, many Rookies)...show-N-tell us of your cards
Hi Jason
" Great topic, Ted! Will show off my three cards from the set. I'm curious if you know much about the grayish background variants occasionally seen for cards like the Campy RC. " I have about 60+ "grayish" ( I refer to them as SLATE) cards in one of my 1949 BOWMAN sets. The Hi # Slate cards are extremely difficult to find. Here is a sample of some of my Slate cards......  The majority of the Slate cards are cards normally with Green, Light Blue, Orange, or Yellow pastel colors. Very rarely you can find a Slate that normally is Red or dark Blue. In a forthcoming post, I will display my uncut sheet (36-cards) which includes 17 cards that were not printed with their normal background colors (i.e., Slates). TED Z T206 Reference .

Reflections on 1949 BOWMAN's (25 HOFers, many Rookies)...show-N-tell us of your cards
Here is a 3rd series complete sheet (cards #4, 74 - 108). Note that it includes 17 cards with Slate backgrounds.
These 17 cards normally have Green or Orange backgrounds.  The 1949 BOWMAN cards were issued in the Spring of 1949. Depending what part of the country you were in, the 1st and 2nd Series cards [#1 - 73 (minus #4)] were available at the start of the BB season. For instance, if you lived in the South, then only cards [#1 - 3, 73, 5 - 36] were available in the Spring. Followed by cards #37 - 72 which were available in May or June. Pictured above are the 3rd Series cards (#4, 74 - 108) which were available Circa June of 1949. Post #1 in this thread depicts the 4th series of cards (#109 - 144) which were issued in the Summer of 1949. The tough Hi numbers were issued in Sept. of 1949. The 5th series cards (#145 - 180) are the most difficult to find. The 6th series cards incl. [#181 - 240 (and the 12 variations)]. Stay tuned for more info on the 5th & 6th series. This classic set of 252 cards is the first large set of BB cards issued since the 1940 Play Ball set. Furthermore, approx. 40 % of the subjects in the 1949 BOWMAN set are ROOKIE cards. OK, enough said for now....now show us some of your favorite cards in this set. TED Z T206 Reference . Last edited by tedzan; 11-24-2019 at 06:36 AM. Reason: Corrected typo.

Are we going to get in trouble for not being pre-war?
