The 1955 Bowman cards (Bowman's final baseball-card issue) have always been very popular due to their classic "television" style and inclusion of so many stars. The flush-to-the-border wood-grain design of this issue makes them very susceptible to corner and edge wear. This is an attractive medium- to lower-grade collection of this classic 1950s issue. Total: 382 cards (partial set of 248 cards plus 132 duplicates and two variations).
