Attractive collector-grade complete 1948 Bowman complete set. Compiled by a long-time collector who grew up with the great Bowman cards of the 1940s and 1950s this grouping is a strong and presentable set despite being at the lower end of the "midgrade" spectrum. Each of the cards in this collection were acquired before the advent of professional grading; the gentleman who assembled this set did so with an eye toward clarity of image and overall cleanliness of the cards; presentable clean surfaces took precedence over centering back issues toning and even corners. The result is a set with technical grades breaking down as 7% EX; 25% VG/EX; 35% VG; 31% G and 1% F/P/trimmed. Key cards break down as follows: #3 Kiner VG/EX; #4 Mize P (Paper remnants on reverse); #5 Feller VG; #6 Berra VG/EX; #8 Rizzuto G; #17 Slaughter VG; #18 Spahn G; #36 Musial G; #38 Schoendienst G. A presentable set with eye appeal surpassing the technical grade. 48 cards total.
