In the June 1986 issue of Baseball Cards Magazine, hobby writer Ted Zanidakis took a deep dive into one of the most beloved postwar sets; 1953 Bowman Color. Nearly forty years later, his insights still article, “1953 Bowman: Color Them HOT” still resonates.
Don’t forget to check out more great writing on the blog’s Hobby Resources page. Happy collecting!
P.S. The issue included 1953 Bowman Color Repli-cards of Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella, and Stan Musial.
Seems hard to believe that it’s 40+ years since I drove 50 miles to a Buffalo dealer to buy a complete, excellent set for $1200! (No, I don’t have them anymore.)
Gosh. Pricey even then!
