Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Presented is a collection of 92 different (out of 320) 1955 Bowman baseball cards highlighted by eleven Hall of Famers, including Hank Aaron, Al Kaline, Roy Campanella, and Willie Mays. The 1955 Bowman cards (Bowman's final baseball-card issue) have always been very popular due to their classic "television" style and inclusion of so many stars. Condition is 48% Ex to Ex-Mt and 52% Vg to Vg-Ex (including a few lesser and some due solely to centering). This collection consists of the following: #10 Rizzuto (Ex-Mt), 11, 15, 20, 21, 22 Campanella (99/1 T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt), 23 Kaline (98/2 T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt+), 24, 25 Minoso (Vg-Ex+), 31, 32, 33 Fox (Ex-Mt), 35, 36, 37 Reese (99/1 T/B, otherwise Ex), 39-47, 48a Bolling/Frank Bolling back (Vg-Ex), 50, 51, 54-56, 58, 59 Ford (Ex+), 61-64, 123-128, 161, 163-166, 172, 174, 176-178, 179 Aaron (SGC EX 5, submitted by REA), 180, 184 Mays (Gd), 187, 189, 190, 192, 195, 196, 198, 199, 201, 203, 209-212, 213 Kell (Ex-Mt), 214-224, 243-248, 282, 283 Chylak (Ex), 284, 285, and 314.
