Attractive midgrade complete 1955 Bowman set from the Texas find. Much more appealing in terms of condition than the 1954 issue the 1955 Bowman set was housed in a photo album alongside the 1954 Bowman set the cards far more carefully handled and clearly more carefully filed away. The majority of the set grades at the VG/EX level due either to corner wear or centering. We took the liberty of submitting four cards to PSA for grading. All four graded VG/EX with the Mantle receiving a MC qualifier due to a miscut top edge. The cards we submitted are #168 Yogi Berra #179 Hank Aaron #184 Willie Mays and #202 Mickey Mantle (with the aforementioned MC qualifier). The remaining keys grade as follows: #1 Wilhelm (G wax staining on reverse) #10 Rizzuto (EX) #22 Campanella (VG/EX) #23 Kaline (EX/MT) #59 Ford (VG/EX) #29 Schoendienst (VG) #60 Slaughter (VG/EX w/miscut reverse) #89 Boudreau (G) #103 Mathews (VG) #130 Ashburn (VG) #134 Feller (EX) #191 Lemon (VG/EX) #197 Kiner (G pencil writing on reverse) #213 Kell (VG)_ #242 Banks (VG/EX) #265 Barlick (EX) #303 Conlan (VG/EX with miscut reverse) #308 Lopez (VG/EX). Extremely appealing midgrade set from an original owner collection part of our "Texas Find." 320 cards total.
