These cards come straight from an estate sale, assembled by a collector from Pennsylvania in the 1970's. If you are planning to start, or currently trying to complete a 1955 Bowman baseball set, then you do not want to let this incredible lot pass you by. Featuring 258 different cards from this classic vintage set(over 80% complete), this lot contains the majority of the key cards and big names from '55 Bowman. Stars like Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Yogi Berra, Bob Feller, Eddie Mathews, Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese, Phil Rizzuto, plus many, many more. Please note that this is NOT a high grade condition set. You will find moderate to heavy corner wear(fuzzing, rounding, creasing) throughout. You will also find that the majority of cards in this lot will have surface creases, many with severe creases like the Kiner and Ashburn cards above. Although the Feller, Hodges, Berra and Mays cards above do show heavy corner wear, all show just one or two very light creases. Note that the Feller card above has staple holes along the right side. The two cards in this lot that are in the best condition are the Whitey Ford and the Johnny Podres(see scans above). Both of these cards are crease free, have clean edges and just light touching to the corners. All cards still feature very strong color. The Mickey Mantle card has been slabbed as "Authentic" by Beckett Grading Services. As you can see from the scan above, there is heavy paper loss on the back, heavy corner rounding and some creasing along the bottom.
The overall average grade throughout, should range from Pr to Vg, with a few exceptions either way. A great chance here to pick up a near complete set of this classic Bowman set. If you cannot afford these cards in high grade condition, you will not find a better option than what we are offering here. Add these cards to your collection today!
