Each card has been graded by PSA. Offered is an 94-card near set (missing #'s 2 and 79 for completion) of 1953 Bowman "Television & Radio Stars of the National Broadcasting Company" non-sports cards. With its 7.86 GPA (Set Rating: 8.10), this assembly merits "#1 Current Finest" placement on the PSA Set Registry! This issue is well-known for its impressive content of the time's celebrities, as well as a number of tough "short prints" (#'s 1 - 10, 11 - 79; odd numbers and 91 - 95; odd numbers) that make set-building especially difficult for modern collectors. Includes: Graded PSA MINT 9: 21 cards w/#'s 18, 22, 24, 36, 40, 44, 46, 48, 52, 56, 57, 58, 60, 64, 70, 72, 78, 80, 81, 82 and 92; PSA NM-MT+ 8.5: 1 card, #26; PSA NM-MT 8: 54 cards w/#'s 3, 4, 5 Backus, 6, 7, 9, 10 Shore, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 Meadows, 17, 19, 20, 21, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33 Caesar, 34, 38, 41 Fisher, 42, 43, 45, 49, 50, 51, 53, 54, 55, 62, 66, 68, 71, 74, 75, 76, 83, 84 Coca, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 94 and 96; PSA NM+ 7.5: 1 card, #8 Marx; PSA NM 7: 15 cards w/#'s 1, 23, 31, 35, 37, 39, 47, 59, 61, 63, 65, 67, 69, 93 and 95 Hope; PSA EX-MT+ 6.5: 1 card, #73; PSA EX-MT 6: 1 card, #77.
