530.0. "1950 Bowman Baseball Re-Print Set" by CARTUN::PAVLOCK () Tue Feb 02 1993 14:52

    
    I saw an ad in the February Preview catalog for a 1950 Bowman Baseball
    reprint set?  
    
    Anyone seen and information about this product? 
    
    Any prices?  Is it wax or a set? 
    
    If it's a set, anyone interested in going in on a case, assuming case
    prices are cheaper?
    
    Regards,
    Denny

    Denny,  I have this set and also several other reprint sets like this
    one such as the 1952 Bowman, 1953 Bowman, etc. They came in a special
    box, nicely done by the way. I thought these sets  were  more true to
    the originals than the Topps  1953  Archives being that they were the
    same size.
    
    Some people don't like them  because  they're  not original, but then
    who can afford the original. Some people also say not to buy them be-
    cause there's no investment value in them.
    
    I probably own about 30  different  reprint  sets  and  I find myself
    looking at these more than the newer cards.  They look nice in sheets
    and binders.
    
    There's a company that advertises in SCD that sells almost all of the
    reprint sets (and also manufactures many of them) called Card Collec-
    tors' Co.  They sell the 1950 set for 40$. Send mail if you want more
    info.
