1950 Bowman Baseball Cards
Bowman's 1950 baseball card set is similar to those of previous years, but with small improvements in design and quality. This set contained 252 cards, each measuring 2-1/16"x2-1/2".Card fronts depicted a full-color reproduction of they player's photo, usually a head-and-shoulders shot. Card backs gave the player's name (and, to the right, the Bowman logo) in red ink; below that were the basic player info and paragraph of biographical information in black ink. Card backs for this set were horizontal.
Unlike other sets, the earlier cards (#1-72) in this set are considered the more scarce.
The final series of 72 cards in the set (#181-252) can be found with or without the copyright line at the bottom of the card back; those without the line are less common.
Prominent players in this set include Warren Spahn, Pee Wee Reese, Jackie Robinson, Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella, Duke Snider, Ted Williams, and Gil Hodges.
