October 6, 2019 By Anson Whaley

In 1953, Bowman continued its run of collectible baseball card sets with an impressive 160-card offering. Like the company's previous issues, that set included full color cards of players. But also in that year, the company issued a shorter, complementary set of black and white cards.

September 3, 2019 By Anson Whaley

Whenever vintage collectors think of baseball cards and television, it's usually the 1955 Bowman set that comes to mind. That release would be Bowman's last one before being taken over by Topps. What some collectors don't know, however, is that the look was not an entirely new one. In 1950, Drake's offered a set of baseball cards with a similar design. 1950 Drake's TV … [Read more...] about 1950 Drake’s TV Cards a Precursor to 1955 Bowman Issue

Comparing Rarity of Topps’ 1951 Blue Backs and Red Backs

October 21, 2018 By Anson Whaley

While the 1952 Topps set is arguably the company's most iconic issue, a pair of 1951 sets have garnered a lot of interest from vintage collectors. About the 1951 Topps Sets In 1951, Topps printed two types of cards - one with red back and another with blue backs. The cards were actually more than mere trading cards.
