Two great collector's-grade Bowman sets for one high bid. Both the 1950 and 1951 Bowman sets are 100% complete, with the 1951 set being a bit stronger in terms of condition. In the 252 card 1950 Bowman set, one will find cards of # 6 Feller vg, 11 Rizzuto, 19 Spahn gd, 21 Reese gd, 22 Robinson vg-ex, 32 Roberts vg, 33 Kiner vg, 35 Slaughter vg, 46 Berra vg, 75 Campanella vg, 77 Snider vg-ex, 98 Williams pr, 112 Hodges gd. The breakdown of the balance of the set is 5% EX, 25% vg-ex, 40% vg and 20% weaker. The 1951 Bowman set provides us with rookie cards of 2 of the best baseball players of all time: # 253 Mickey Mantle PSA 4 VG-EX (the card is well centered and has strong corners, however there are two vertical roller marks) and # 305 Willie Mays upon first glance appears to be EX-MT however there is the smallest of tears (noticeable when viewed under a loupe) to the bottom edge. . Additional highlights include, # 1 Ford gd, 2 Berra pr, 3 Roberts vg, 7 Hodges EX, 26 Rizzuto EX-MT, 31 Campanella vg-ex (oc), 32 Snider vg-ex, 80 Reese vg-ex, 134 Spahn vg (2 pin holes), 151 Doby EX, 165 Williams PSA 5 EX, 198 Irvin, 232 Fox EX. The remaining cards are 10% EX-MT, 20% EX, 35% VG-EX, and 35% VG or lesser
