Your Ferris Fain theory is quite interesting. Fain led the AL in batting in 1951 and 1952 while playing for the A's. The Bowman Gum Co. was based in
Philadelphia. So, Fain should have been in color or the B & W set. If you compare the backs of the two Al Corwin cards there is a typo in the first one (#126). His birth month (December) is misspelled...."Recember". They corrected this mistake on his Hi # card (#149). But, this is certainly not a big enough deal to issue a 2nd card of Corwin. Thanks for sharing your thoughts regarding the absence of Fain in this set. TED Z
