Reflections on 1949 BOWMAN's (25 HOFers, many Rookies)...show-N-tell us of your cards

[tedzan]

Major Rookie cards in 1949 BOWMAN set....starting off with Ashburn, Campy, Lemon, Roberts, Snider, and Wynn. Stay tuned for more Rookie cards will be displayed.

Although some publications identify the 1949 BOWMAN cards of Jackie Robinson, Satchell Paige, and Larry Doby as being their Rookie cards....this is not true.

Wow, that's some cool stuff there Ted !

[Bram99]

How many RC’s in the set, Ted?

Ted, I remember well a long discussion many moons ago back in the 90's at
the old show in Asbury Park, NJ discussing the '49 Bowman set, one we both collected. So how about a little chat about the beautiful PCL Bowman subset. Best, John

[DeanH3]

Can't wait to read your findings. I have the Cubs from set but didn't post. However, it seems only one series had facs auto on back. Only 130, 134 and 142 have facs autos. In addition I have both white and gray backs for some of the 1st Series. I also have the Bob Sheffing with name and no name so don't know how many more were printed this way. Unfortunately don't have any "slate" backgrounds so have something else to look for. Thanks.

Hey John

Great to hear from you....thanks, you bring back some great memories of the Asbury Park Shows at the Jersey Shore.

OK, you beat me to it, I intend to eventually get into the 1949 BOWMAN Pacific Coast League (PCL) set.....but not yet.

Anyhow, here is a preview for you....some seldom seen PCL cards.....




Stay tuned for more PCL stuff.

Hi Tony

There are 2 tiers of Rookie cards in the 1949 BOWMAN set.

HOFers…...Ashburn, Campanella, Lemon, Roberts, Snider, Wynn

Other players....Approx. 100 more Rookie cards.
This is still a work in progress, as there are numerous 1947 TIP TOP cards of which I'm cross-checking with the 1949 BOWMAN cards.
I should have a complete Rookie list tomorrow.

Here are a few from a small group I picked up earlier this year. I wonder if any of the prizes are still around like the rings or the baseball game...

Hi Rob
