Authentic (2 cards): #4 (minimum size not met) and 179 Aaron (minimum size not met). 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 and very difficult to assemble as a complete set in high grade. A very sharp-looking and consistent complete set! The equivalent SMR value for just 230 of the 320 graded cards (factoring in the 50 half grades at the lower whole-grade level and not including the 90 cards graded less than EX is $8,540. Total: 320 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
