Scanning my Rams collection: next up, 1953 Bowman

[TNP777]

I also posted this on the vintage board, but I don't think the football crowd gets over there too much. If anyone here is into vintage football, head on over there and show off your stuff!

Got bored last night, so I fired up the ol' scanner. Since I've mostly concentrated on my baseball collection, I'd forgotten how cool my old Rams are. Can't wait to get some more done.

1948 Bowman Rams (complete)

'48 Leaf > '48 Bowman.

1950 Bowman, Greatest Set Ever.

I love vintage and that's a pretty impressive collection.

just finished scanning what I've got of each - '48 Leaf, not much.

I agree, 1950 Bowman is a stunning set, as is the '51.

I picked up the Younger tonight, and am hoping to close out the set with the Fears very soon.

Storming Norman is a stupid expensive card from that set but you should be able get a Hirsch of that quality on the cheap. I've seen a few close around their opening bids of 1-5 dollars.

Yah man, these sets are awesome and jam-packed with value.

50 and 52 are stupid expensive, but '51 in my opinion is the most affordable set to put together if you want an old-timey set at a great price.

Van Brocklin is the only VERY expensive card and Tom Landry is pretty pricey, but you can get guys like Em Tunnell for cheeeeap.

You can put together a very respectable '51 set for about... 550-600ish (if you get lucky and someone has a bunch for sale)?

You can put together the key cards from '50 in beat up condition for a very fair price too.

I'm very surprised more people haven't put this stuff together.

Re: Scanning my Rams collection: next up, 1952 Bowman Small

been a long time since I've been able to update this thread.

for $5 I couldn't resist knocking this off of my wantlist. It's the ultra-rare "completely encased with tape" variation.

and yes, the **** is also encased. :shock:

'52 Bowman Small Bob Waterfield - I haven't mixed it in with the rest of the team set yet. I think I'll wait until I nail down Robustelli to finish up the set.
