Lot # 2763: 1950 Bowman Football Complete Set (144)

This is a very attractive complete set of the classic 1950 Bowman football series, highlighted by rookie cards of Hall of Famers Y. A. Tittle and Otto Graham. Includes a duplicate of #99 Keane. Condition is 26% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt (mostly Ex-Mt), 70% Vg-Ex to Ex (approximately two-thirds Ex), and 4% Gd to Vg. We have selected eight cards for grading and encapsulation by SGC. Keys: #1 Walker (Ex), 5 Tittle RC (EX 5), 6 Groza RC (EX/NM 6), 16 Davis RC (Ex), 17 Waterfield (Ex), 23 Van Buren (Ex), 26 Lujack (Ex-Mt), 27 Luckman (10/90 L/R, otherwise Ex), 29 Dudley (Ex-Mt), 35 Perry RC (VG/EX+ 4.5), 37 Layne (Ex), 43 Motley RC (NM 7), 45 Graham RC (EX/NM 6), 51 Fears RC (Ex+), 52 Hirsch RC (Vg-Ex+), 78 Lavelli RC (EX/NM 6), 100 Baugh (EX 5), 103 Conerly (Ex), 129 Trippi (80/20 T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt), and 132 Bednarik (EX/NM 6). 1950 Bowman Football has always been a scarce set. Extremely attractive complete mid-grade sets such as this one, loaded with all of the great stars and Hall of Famers of the era, represent a particularly outstanding value. The equivalent SMR value for just seven of the eight SGC-graded cards (not including one card graded lower than EX) is $3,060. Total: 145 cards (set of 144 plus one duplicate).
