Description

1949 Bowman near-complete set of 237 cards (out of 240). Missing the following three cards for completion: #50 Robinson, 84 Campanella, and 224 Paige. This is an extremely attractive and mostly medium-grade set. Rookie cards of Hall of Famers Richie Ashburn, Duke Snider, Robin Roberts, Early Wynn, Gil Hodges, and Bob Lemon are featured in this near-complete set. Fifty-one cards have been professionally graded and encapsulated by SGC (29) and PSA (22). SGC Grading Composite: NM 84 (4 cards): #25 (PSA), 103 (PSA), 116, and 121. EX/NM+ 82 (1 card): #71 (PSA). EX/NM 80 (10 cards): #22, 36 Reese (PSA), 47 Sain, 68 (PSA), 89, 98b Rizzuto/name on front, 105 (PSA), 118, 129, and 132 (PSA). EX+ 70 (3 cards): #24 Musial, 63, and 97. EX 60 (10 cards): #41 (PSA), 53, 56, 72 (SGC), 106 (PSA), 109, 110 Wynn RC (PSA), 113, 124 (PSA), and 133 (PSA). VG/EX+ 55 (1 card): #59. VG/EX 50 (9 cards): #11 Boudreau, 32 (PSA), 46 Roberts RC (PSA), 60 Berra (PSA), 75 (PSA), 126, 131 (PSA), 175 Appling (PSA), and 185 (PSA). VG+ 45 (2 cards): #81 and 100 Hodges RC (VG+ 3.5). VG 40 (7 cards): #87, 104, 135, 139, 222, 226 Snider RC (VG 3), and 238 Lemon RC (PSA). GOOD 30 (3 cards): #107, 214 Ashburn RC (PSA), and 233 Doby (PSA). FAIR 20 (1 card): #212. The condition of the 186-card unencapsulated balance is 33% Ex to Ex-Mt (approximately two-thirds Ex and including a couple Nr/Mt), 58% Vg to Vg-Ex, and 9% lesser (including a couple with a slight trim). Unencapsulated Keys: #1 Bickford (Vg+), 23 Doerr (Vg-Ex), 26 Kell (Fr), 27 Feller (Vg), 29 Kiner (Vg+), 33 Spahn (Gd), 65 Slaughter (Ex), 70 Furillo RC (Vg), 85 Mize NNOF (Vg+), 111 Schoendienst (Vg), 162 Roe RC (Fr-Gd), 194 Branca RC (Ex), 209 Keller (Vg+), 210 Gordon (Vg+), 219 Trucks (Vg), 225 Coleman RC (Ex-Mt), 229 Lopat RC (Vg-Ex). 1949 Bowman is the most underrated set in terms of rarity among Topps and Bowman sets issued between 1948 and 1955. This collection represents the foundation for an outstanding medium-grade complete set of this classic postwar gum card issue. Total: 237 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
