Wow... wow... From a fellow Greek: Congrats on that 1950 Bowman.
One of my three favorite sets ever produced... just a beautiful set that looks like miniature museum pieces.

TEE KANIS, YIANNI......KAI EFHARISTO

Greek for......"What's happening, Johnny......and thank you"


The 1950 Bowman cards were loved by this 11 year old kid in 1950. Of all my original BB card collection that I recovered in the 1970's, the 1950 Bowman cards
were the most plentiful. I needed only 12 to complete the set......and, my favorite, the Ted Williams card was the "biggie".


Take care,

I recently saw a couple of uncut 1967 Laughlin sheets on e-bay and they got me to thinking.......... Can anyone confirm or deny the existence of uncut 1974 or 1978 Laughlin Negro League card sheets?

That's some of the little bit of Greek that I know, Ted... also can count to 10 and know all about "sit down, shut up and eat your dinner"... lol

That's so cool... must have been awesome to find those sheets. Do you still have th entire set? (I'm guessing the answer is an emphatic "yes!" I've only got about 20 from that set... but their prized possessions. I just got the Warren Spahn... looks (again) like something that should be hung in the Louvre. The catcher cards are also amazing in that series. The '51 and '52 were awesome, too... but something about that '50 set with nothing on the front, is hugely appealing to me...

Efharisto poli to you, too!

Default Hey John

You'll like this story.....in 1950 (most of us kids in our neighborhood were 10 to 12 years old) if we weren't playing BB or Stick-ball,
we were playing Poker or Black-Jack on our porches.

Instead of pennies or nickles, we would use for "betting chips" 1950 Bowman BB cards. I was real good at playing Black-Jack; and,
I would win many 1950 Bowman BB cards.

I guess that's why I found so many of them when I recovered the sportscards from my youth.

Default 1952 Topps sheet

Topps printed the various series of this set on duplicate 100-card sheets. The 1st series consists of 80 subjects; therefore, Topps's printers
had to Double-Print two rows of cards to fill out their 100-card sheet.

This 1st series sheet is a partial sheet of 50 cards, which comprises of cards #41-80. Note that cards #51-60 (top row and 3rd row down)
are Double-Printed.

The missing top half of this 1st series sheet comprises of cards #1-40. I believe that the row consisting of cards #31-40 are Double Printed.

Dave Hornish (toppcat) is our resident expert on Topps sets......and, perhaps he will chime in here with additional insight regarding this great
post-war set.

It's not pre-war, but I think it's kinda cool.



Here's the description from when I bought it. Not sure how much of it is REA hyperbole, but nonetheless the piece is neat.

"color-process proof sheet from the 1968 Topps set consisting of forty-four cards, including the key rookie card of Nolan Ryan and Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, and Carl Yastrzemski. Printed on a thick paper stock (similar to vinyl), the sheet is arranged in four rows of eleven cards with large margins on top and bottom, the latter of which includes black, blue, magenta, and yellow color spectrum lines. Crop marks are also visible in all four margins. All but one of the cards appear as they would in final production when viewed from the front; the Yastrzemski checklist, however, is missing all of the black text which would normally appear in the checklist portion of the card, suggesting that the offered sheet may have been one press run short of a final production version. The back of the sheet is blank. These sheets were used by the printer for the purpose of checking colors, registration, and generally proofing the cards before final production began. Bright and clean, both front and back, with a small, almost imperceptible, tear along the bottom edge and a chip out of the upper right corner, neither of which detracts from the overall presentation. The Nolan Ryan rookie card, which is situated in the lower left corner of the sheet, displays exceptionally well and is an ideal highlight. Dimensions: 21 x 28 inches.

ha ha... that's awesome. We used to play dice (single / double / triple / homer / out / out) with cards... winner take all. But I sold all the cards I won for $25 when my family moved to LA when I was in 8th grade. I thought I needed the spending money. Stupidest deal ever.

Very nice sheet. Is it the same one that was sold at the 2012 National?

Scott,

I don't know as I got mine from REA. When I was reseaching mine prior to bidding I saw that one from the Topps auction and wondered if it was the same one.

I know why the auction house listed this as a boxing item and I almost missed it entirely. Fortunately I saw it on the last day of the auction (or close to it)..

It's funny how at some point during the layout of this sheet (before type was added) they ended up with a reverse negative and wound up printing the images 'backwards,' with the lefties becoming righties and so forth.
