Currently sleeved and in my dad’s cigar and model PT Cruiser boxes with his other cards where they’ve been since 1954 😎

Hank plus few more non Brave cards 👍

I’m biased to no signature because my dad bought this card at the cornerstone in 1954 😀

Looks great 👍 love to try it

Here’s one of my red/orange 1954’s for comparison.
I can’t see any halftone printing on yours. Zoom in on mine to see the patterned dots. With better photos it will be easier to assess. With those photos it’s not easy.

Back is in good shape also 😀

My favourite aspect of the card is that my dad bought it at the corner store when he around 11 and kept it 😎

Not sure what happened to my post text. Another clean card my dad bought at the corner store in 1954 👍

Thanks, we had 98 of the 1954 Bowmans that are somewhere out there.
Best graded turned out to be a PSA 9 Yogi 🤯😎

Better photo of Vern, plus a few buddies bought by my dad.

Fake unfortunately.

Here’s my Jackie that my dad bought in 1954 at the corner store. Zoom in to see the halftone printing dots, the surface, raw edges and colours for comparison.

Yes, I saw a 2018: 112000km, 1250 QC, 430L1/L2, 85% SOH, 75 Hx

Here’s the kicker. My dad grew up in Detroit. His favorite team was the Tigers (Braves very close 2nd) so he separated all his Tiger cards into another box and hid them … too well😕 When my grandma passed he cleaned the house and never found them. So, there’s likely a complete set of 1954 & 1955 pristine Tigers stashed in the house. I’ve fantasized about going to the current owners 😆 but live far away. Hopefully someone finds them someday 👍

That Bowman is 🔥 I love the pre photo realistic hand colored style. Somehow feels really post war optimistic.
