ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

1955 Bowman Baseball

- The “swan song” for the original Bowman, 1955 Bowman Baseball marked the last baseball set before Topps acquired the brand following years of court battles.
- Although it doesn’t offer the same rookie power as earlier Bowman releases, or 1955 Topps Baseball, the brown-bordered vintage series should not be overlooked.
