The "I Love Bowman (if it's from the 40's and 50's)" Thread!

Screw Bryce Harper! Screw Refractor bling! And get off my lawn! Show me some old-school Bowman to help me get through the chrome-tinted prospecting **** of the latest release.

I like new Bowman, but the incessant threads are getting tedious, so I'm with you.

But....but.....prospects didn't exist back then, did they? How is this thread possible? I must be tripping on something.....

I dont collect the Major League Bowman cards anymore, way too common...

I only go for the Minor Leaguers (PCL)

1949 R406-3

I LOVE old cards, but I just can't get into 40's and 50's bowman releases- I feel the designs are just too plain.

What is it that you guys like about these cards, ie, what makes them standout from other contemporary Topps issues or compared to pre-war stuff?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Danny, Terrance, where you guys at?! haha.

I love '51 myself. I have a Tom Saffell Signed... need to get more though.

I have a 1950 Bowman Ted Williams - I'll scan it one of these days - it's PSA 4.

did you submit this recently? I have two additions to this thread that I will add later.. The only reason I ask is because that looks like a new flip...
