Superb pair of 1948 Bowman Basketball high numbers, each graded and encapsulated NM-MT 8 by PSA (submitted by REA). Cards from this set are extremely hard to find in high grade in part because these cards (like 1949 Bowman baseball) often naturally have soft corners due to the quality of the paper stock on which they are printed. The 1948 Bowman Basketball series is particularly significant as this was the first set ever issued devoted exclusively to basketball. The offered cards of #60 Ariel Maughan and 61 Dick O'Keefe are bright, crisp, and clean, with outstanding centering and strong corners. Each would be at home in any exceptional high-quality complete set of this landmark basketball issue. Total: 2 cards. Reserve $200. Estimate $400+.
