From the same consignor of the 1949 Bowman Master set, we offer the younger brother (by one year) in the 1950 Bowman Master set. Yes, Virginia there are lots of variations within the 1950 Bowman cards. The final two series (72 cards, #181-252) come with (standard) and without (much tougher) the copyright line on the reverse, located (or not) near the bottom border. While not recognized by one of the major grading companies, the "no copyright" variations are there (or not) and are much more difficult to obtain than their copyright counterparts. So this is a Master Set of the original 252 cards plus all the 72 "No copyright" variations making this set 324 cards. Unlike most issued sets where the high numbers are more difficult to locate, the 1950 Bowman set contains the first two series (1-72) as the most difficult cards to obtain, especially in high grade. This group includes such popular cards as Jackie Robinson, Phil Rizzuto, Yogi Berra, Robin Roberts and Bob Feller.
A total of ten (10) cards have been submitted by Leland's to PSA for grading.
As PSA tends to grade with a very critical eye, we feel there are re-submission opportunities, especially the Ted Williams.
