I�m 1 card away from 1950 Bowman. Should have bought a beater Jackie for $200 a few years ago. Now it�s almost $1K in any condition, and I have a hard time rationalizing that price for a mass produced card. I�m having a blast with the no copyright variations in the last 2 series. I need 14 of the no copyrights (and still don�t have Bob Miller or Sam Jethroe with the copyrights! Never thought a common Bob Miller would be one of the last I needed). Gorgeous little works of art.

Greg, you always have great taste! I've had the Jackie for a while. It won't win any beauty contests, but I do have it. It's one of my favorites. I have work to do in the low numbers still yet. I'm also collecting the copyright/no copyright variations. Those are neat. I still have a few of those to go, but it's doable. Like you said, they're little works of art.

I think the 50 Bowman is hands down Jackie Robinson's best card. Awesome card, sir!

1950 Bowmans are cards I never really appreciated until recently. I picked up a low grade Hodges and wow, the image just pops. Then I got a few more Dodgers portraits and now I might just chase some portraits, like with T206. At least I had this one since I was a kid:

Not the purtiest but it's signed and it's mine.

You gotta love that Bowman included the partial photo-bomb at the left...
