The 1950 Bowman set is often overlooked by collectors simply because it does not include a Mantle or Mays rookie. However, this was a landmark set in its day, being the first postwar baseball issue to feature full-color artwork instead of photographs. We rarely have the opportunity to offer a complete set of 1950 Bowman and have consistently found it among the most elusive sets of the era over the years. This is one of the finest sets of this elusive issue we have offered in the last twenty years! All 252 cards have been encapsulated and graded by PSA. The set includes one NM-MT+ 8.5, fifty-six NM-MT 8s, six NM+ 7.5s, eighty-nine NM 7s, eleven EX-MT+ 6.5s, sixty-five EX-MT 6s, four EX+ 5.5s, and twenty EX 5s. This set is registered as the tenth highest-graded set on the PSA Set Registry with an impressive overall GPA of 6.74. PSA Grading Composite: NM-MT+ 8.5 (1 card): #241.
