Presented is a 240-card 1949 Bowman complete set. For its 1949 issue, Bowman made two major changes from the preceding year's black-and-white production. The company added color to team uniforms (while enhancing backgrounds with several different pastel shades), and expanded the set to a total of 240 cards. Boasting several Hall of Famer rookie cards and noted for its difficult high-series cards (numbers 145-240), the attractive 1949 Bowman product has always been a monumental challenge for collectors to assemble. Three cards have been graded by PSA or SGC. Highlights include: #’s 1 Bickford (GD/VG), 11 Boudreau (EX), 18 Thomson (VG/EX), 23 Doerr (VG/EX), 24 Musial (VG), 26 Kell (GD), 27 Feller (VG), 29 Kiner (EX), 33 Spahn (VG), 36 Reese (VG/EX), 46 Roberts (EX/MT), 50 Robinson (trimmed), 60 Berra (SGC 55 VG/EX+ 4.5), 64 D.
