I wanted to show off my B-Day gift

My Girlfriend surprised me with this. The printing is so clear none of the double die effect seen on many 50 Bowman. These cards are so sweet I'm just going to have to collect a low grade high eye appeal set now lol. Plus I'm just a sucker for mini cards!

    Very nice card and does not look like a 3 - great eye appeal.
  • Its tough to see but it has a few wrinkles in the bottom RT corner plus the corner is creased a little. It still looks great in person.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    The girlfriend might be the best pickup on this thread, but that Otto sure is sweet too!

    Cool card, great set.

    Happy Birthday!

  • I'm slowly spoon feeding her on collecting. I gave her two C.J. Wilson cards in cs1's she loved that. That's can't miss TV around our house when he is pitching against our M's. Well for her anyway.

    Great card. Awesome eye appeal!

    When she asked what I wanted I told her but I didn't think for a second she would come through. Kind of blindsided me image.

    I'll see what she can track down next year lol

    You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer PSA 3 than that one.

    1950 Bowman doesn't get nearly as much love as it deserves relative to the 1952 Bowman.

    I think the small form factor works against it with some collectors, but it's my favorite set from Bowman's offerings in the 1940's & 1950's.

    They are relatively affordable and much easier to find centered than any other Bowman release.

    Your girlfriend, she done good!
