I love the 1953 Bowman Set. I bought the Reese from a comic/card shop back in 1985 when I was in high school Remember walking down the card shop after school a few times a week to buy cards and comics from that shop. Recall skipping a few lunches so I could pay the $15 for the Reese. Might be time to get these graded.

    I would definitely get them graded, if for nothing other than protection. Super sharp examples- do you have the complete set?

    Beautiful cards!



    This is my new favorite set. I'm slowly putting one together, but it is extremely low grade. Just got a Campy in to mail a couple days ago and have a Musial on the way. Biggiest cards I still need are both Mantles and the Reese. Other than that, just need mostly commons.

    Love the set -- yours are very nice examples, and I would get them graded! My set that I'm working on is also in the VG to VG-EX range -- no Reese card yet, but do have the Musial, Mantle and Snider. image

    Wow ... They look REAL nice. Would love to see a better picture of them. Do you have a scanner?
    STAY HEALTHY!

    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.

    There is a really good thread featuring Ted Zanidakis' article on this set- really well researched and written.

    A few answers to the questions earlier.



    I do not have the set. Just a few of the stars and some commons. All in nice shape though.



    My scanner is not very good, so that is why i took pictures.



    That is a good thread on this set over on the net54 boards. Thanks.

    I love the 1953 Bowman set! Im currently working on the Hall of Fame set (26 cards as Im counting the Martin/Rizutto and the Bauer/Berra/Mantle) and just stunning photography. Ive got about 6 of the Hall of Famers and am working on a deal to acquire two more.

    That Reese and Mantle are stunning lseecon!
