Thanks for pointing that one out. I'm not a Bowman collector so I hadn't ever seen that card before. It is definitely a good looking card for sure!

The first series of the 1950 Bowman set includes a ton of great images and the cards are considerably tougher to find than the higher numbers. In particular, Jackie Robinson, Bob Feller, Yogi Berra. Tommy Henrich, Warren Spahn, Robin Roberts, Larry Doby and Phil Rizzuto have great action poses that are among the most attractive cards of any decade. It seems like Bowman really went all out in early 1950. Even the lesser players have compelling images ... the Howie Pollet is one of my favorites. I'd rather look at low-numbered 1950 Bowmans than high-numbered 1952 Topps any day ...
