1950 Bowman Baseball question - How rare are the No Copyright variations?

TheDudeAbides

How long has PSA graded the No Copyright variations, and are they as rare as the pop. report suggests?

DanBessette

Not as rare as the pop report suggests, because they didn't recognize the variation on the flip for a long time. But no copyright is definitely rarer. I don't know how much so.

I just noticed that yesterday looking at my 1950 bowman yankee set.

There are now 4 cards in this set w/o Copyright. PSA must have just started distinguishing the difference.

In no way should pop report reflect actual numbers.

Same thing with gray/white backs.

I would be interested in knowing if no CR were first runs.

Thanks for your help. Makes more sense to me now. Kind of like the Green Tints with the 62's and PSA's reluctance to note the difference.

I think the Green Tints are a different animal. Even an inexperienced grader can check for copyright or not, and for gray versus white back ( well, maybe not always), but with the green tints not involving a pose change, it is in several cases hard to tell which card you have in hand unless you have both versions for comparison, or you are a long time collector of them. I think most PSA graders could not tell which version they had when examining one card by itself
