Exploring the Collection - Bowman

 We move on to my Bowman collection, with the exception of two Tiger cards it is all Braves.

I've seleted one card from each of the years I have one from and then will narrow it down to my favorite.

This is here by default as my only 1949 Bowman.  I just picked this card up recently.

1950 gives us Buddy Kerr.  I chose this because the other 1950's I have are all boring portrait shots.

I have to go with Del Crandall for 1951.  I have a nice collection of the Braves All-Star catcher and this is an error card also, though the name was never corrected.

This 1952 Bob Chipman is a little rough but I like the stadium background.

I got this lovely Johnny Pesky earlier this year along with another 1953 Bowman Color Tiger card.

My only 1954 so it is here by default but I still do like this card even if it does look like someone hand cut the signature and glued it on the card.

I do not have a 1955 because I hate the fake TV design.  I'm sure I will eventually pick up something for my Spahn or Mathews collections but not now.

Which card do you think I like the best?

Come back tomorrow for my answer.

=======================================

I really like the Bowman color set but the two comments for the 1951 Crandall are on point.  It's a great looking cards and fits into a nice player collection.
