Presented is a 160-card complete set of 1953 Bowman Color baseball cards. The 1953 Bowman issue is regarded by many hobbyists as the most beautiful baseball card set ever created. Besides its universal popularity, this issue has additional challenges for the collector, such as an abundance of expensive Hall of Famers plus a run of high number cards difficult to locate even in middle grade.
