Similar in size and appearance to Bowman"s baseball issue of the same year the 1950 issue was Bowman"s first color football card set. Featuring a variety of poses set on heavy cardboard the 1950 Bowman issue helped set the stage for the higher-quality color sportscard sets of the early 1950s and began to usher in the heyday of Topps vs. Bowman competition in the sportscard world. With a healthy dose of rookie cards and Hall of Famers 1950 Bowman continues to be widely collected today.Presented is a sharp well-centered extra high-grade example of the rookie card of the Rams tight end. With vivid color and a clean back the card is certainly worthy of its lofty grade one of just 12 cards to attain such a grade across both grading companies (with none higher).With no examples to have achieved a higher technical grade this is a stunning nearly pristine copy of the rookie card of an important football Hall of Famer.
