1955 Bowman Baseball
# of cards: 320
Dimensions: 2 1/2 x 3 3/4
Collector Score: **** (5 stars)
This is the Color TV set, the final Bowman-created card issue. Most collectors don’t know that this set was printed by Topps. Bowman, unable to keep on losing money, sold out to Topps early in the year. Topps found the set ready to print with contracts signed, so they went ahead and printed them. Of course, they didn’t print as many as Bowman had planned to print. In fact, they only printed enough to fulfill their contract obligations, so these cards are scarcer than most collectors know. The whole set was a short print.
What makes them so sweet is that they can be bought for much less than they are worth. What makes them not so sweet is that they are nearly non-existent in mint condition, because the edges flake so easily.
Prices reflect value in Near Mint condition
