The 1955 Bowman issue attempted to capitalize on the country's growing fascination with television by depicting color photos of each subject inside a border made to resemble a television. The set which would be Bowman's last would not prove to be a popular one at the time though the set has grown in popularity since due in part to the large selection of the era's stars combined with a selection of the game's umpires. The umpires are all part of a difficult high number run adding to their value. Presented is a complete set of 1955 Bowmans the majority of which are in collector to middle grade. A fine collection there are very few "beaters" in the group a very appealing collection that grades 5% EX-MT or better; 17% EX; 30% VG/EX; 42% VG; 6% G and a fraction lesser.
