Item Description
2-1/16x3-1/8". The 1951 Bowman Baseball set consists of 324 cards. Each simple card front displayed a player's likeness, most of which were recognizable press photographs enhanced by painted color and embellished by the player's name caption. The set contains many future HOF'ers but it is the final 72 cards, the "High Numbers," that took the set to the proverbial "next level" thanks to the iconic rookie cards of young New York stars Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays.
