The 1950 Bowman card set features a total of 252 cards, marking a significant milestone as it was the first time Bowman incorporated vibrant full-color illustrations on the front of each card, showcasing players framed by a delicate white border. Among these, the lower-numbered cards, specifically those numbered 1 through 72, are particularly sought after, as they include a majority of the Hall of Fame athletes, making them rarer and more valuable in the collector's market.Additionally, the last segment of the set, comprising cards numbered 181 to 252, presents an interesting twist with variations on their backs. Some of these cards were produced with a copyright line at the bottom, while others were not, with the latter version being the more elusive of the two. This subtle difference adds an extra layer of intrigue for collectors who are keen on completing their sets with the rarer variations..
To prevent purchasing a false piece of history, always get a professionally graded card from a recognized provider. In the future, graded cards will be significantly more valuable.
