Looking forward to hearing and seeing more, Ted.
I know the info is most likely out there but while I'm here and it's on my mind, what's the story behind the 1952 Topps Look and See cards? I assume they were sold in separate packs away from baseball but were they released around the same time? I can also assume they weren't near as popular as the 52 Topps baseball cards, but did some want them for the Babe Ruth card? Thanks in advance, Ted.

Hi Dale I'm sorry, but I cannot answer your question regarding the Look-N-See set. We had "tons" of 1952 TOPPS (regular issue) cards in our neighborhood. But, we never saw any Look-N-See packs. And, this wasn't just limited to our neighborhood, for we rode our bikes to other areas (miles away) to search for more, or different cards. The only ones available to us kids were BOWMAN's and TOPP's. Perhaps, some one on this forum will chime in here and tell us about the Look-N-See cards. TED Z T206 Reference .

Interesting thread.
Over the years, I have seen a lot of the 1948 Bowman basketball slates and eBay sellers would call them "rare variations" and try to get more money for them. However, I later discovered that these were printers' scrap and were given to kids by Zabel Bros. employees. They were later hand-cut and this is why you aren't going to find any sitting in a slab with a numerical grade. These cards get the AUTH designation only. Now the 1949 Bowman baseball slates posted by Peter and Ted above don't look hand-cut at all. Hmmm ... interesting. |

Reflections on 1949 BOWMAN's (25 HOFers, many Rookies)...show-N-tell us of your cards
Here are two examples from 60+ Slate cards in my collection. One is obviously hand-cut (Salkeld); and, the other is Factory-cut.
A fair number of these color-error cards are indeed Factory-cut. And that does not surprise me because when I opened up 1949 BOWMAN 5-cent packs, I do remember finding color-error cards. Not that often; nevertheless, some which were mostly from the 3rd Series issue. Hi samosa4u Here is an uncut sheet of Hi # cards (#37 - 72) from the 1948 BOWMAN Basketball set that you alluded to. Typically, Zabel Bros. employees would take home such mis-printed sheets. Eventually, these 36 cards would be cut up then distributed into the hobby. Quite a number of these sheets were discovered back in the 1970's. TED Z T206 Reference . Last edited by tedzan; 11-20-2019 at 04:54 PM. Reason: Corrected typo. |

So the slate sheets for the 1948 Bowman basketball series were all rejected, but the following year some of the slate sheets for the 1949 baseball series ended up being factory cut and inserted into packs. I wonder what happened here. It looks like Zabel Bros. just decided to send some of the slate sheets to Bowman and left it up to them. Bowman obviously had no problem with them, otherwise, I don't think they would have ended up being sold to the public. |

Sorry for hijacking your post with 52 Topps card questions, Ted. I wasn't thinking. Not a lot of info out there, like when they came out or availability, etc, that I could find but did find these 2 links with a bit of info. https://www.psacard.com/cardfacts/no...ok-n-see/28128 https://www.cardboardconnection.com/...-trading-cards Thanks Ted.
