48 bowman football set sell price???

obusek99

Anyone have any clue what a 1948 bowman football set might fetch graded, say, 4. No SMR please. I have no idea where to look to find out something like this. Any help appreciated.

Maybe 1500 - 2500 K if you're lucky. The market sucks for that set unless you have a rare 8 or 9s. There's only a handful of completed sets on the registry and many of the lower grade collectors are looking for steals rather than completion %. You would be better off breaking it and selling the SPs and HOFer individually. Then group the commons and see what they fetch. I just sold 65% of the set in 8s and it was slow going at SMR. Either break it up or hold on to it.

I love that set! So I vote you keep it until the market starts to get better. The problem is that the 48 Leaf over shadows that set so it doesn't get much attention. It been that way for a long time.
