Bowman's prestiged 1951 set was its largest ever featuring a total of 324 players. Most of the 324 cards were oriented with vertical portraits recreated as color artwork from photographs and 39 cards used a horizontal (landscape) orientation. This complete 1951 Bowman Baseball set of 324 cards is in mostly EX-MT condition with some better and some worse. Overall most cards are well-centered for the issue and some have very light typical wax staining. The ever-important #253 Mickey Mantle and #305 Willie Mays rookies are the only PSA graded cards in this set. All others are ungraded. Outstanding complete set example for the hobby to enjoy!
#253 Mickey Mantle RC (HOF): Graded PSA VG 3. Visible print line on front. Corners EX. Colors still vibrant with slightly off-white panels. Centered left to right off-center top to bottom. Fairly clean back with two wax spot stains.
#305 Willie Mays RC (HOF): Graded PSA VG-EX 4. Visible print line on front. Corners EX. Colors quite vibrant with mostly snow white panels. Slightly off-center both left to right and top to bottom. Mostly clean back with two wax spot stains.
