1953 Bowman Color 39 Different Card Images in the Lot Displayed SOLD

[Tere1071]

I've been working on my 1970-1975 Topps sets of late. I'm upgrading my 1971, 1972, and 1975 sets while I need to either start building my 1973 and 1974 sets.

I have my extras which I would like to sell as starter lots in order to continue my collecting. I'm going to start with my 1953 Bowman Color singles to sell as a starter lot. I think I've described them fairly accurately and I believe those collectors who have purchased cards from me on Net54 have been satisfied.

There are 39 cards included in the group. I am asking $330 plus $12 for shipping via USPS Priority Mail Small Flate Rate Box and the insurance.

I also have two starter set lots of 1971 Topps Baseball as well as some Topps Heritage Baseball parallel sets. I'd prefer to sell, but I'm also up for a trade.

If you'd like to see other images, please contact me.

Please bump, I lowered a few prices of individual cards and for the group as a whole.

[Tere1071]

Bump. Make a reasonable offer.

[Tere1071]

Bump. All cards in this lot are now displayed. These would serve well in a VG-EX set, with the exception of the Mitchell. I am open to offers above $300 for the lot. Thank you.

[Tere1071]

Bump. Of the 39 cards, nine are high numbers with two of them PSA graded. The lot also includes a nice HOF Irvin and two minor stars (Shantz and Garagiola.) I am open to a best offer price over $300. My own set is complete and perhaps another collector can use the cards in this lot to begin their own set.

[Tere1071]

Bump. I will sell the lot for $330 delivered.

[Tere1071]

Bump once again. Will trade for the following:

Please bump; I've added a want list for cards that I'd consider trading for listed wares in my postings.

An unsolicited plug: I completed my '53 Bowman color set with big-time help from Phil. You just can't go wrong here; great cards, great prices. I actually think he undergrades his cards on occasion!

[Tere1071]

Thank you, Jim, it's always nice to know that I've pleased someone. Continued happy collecting!
