1948 Bowman - Signed/Autographed

[vjw0307]

I've been working on this set for about a year now. All started after I picked up the '48B Yogi RC. Right now I have 35/48 signed cards in the set and I'm needing the following (let me know if you have any of them for sale):

#7 Pete Reiser
#18 Warren Spahn
#20 Buddy Kerr


Here are scans of the ones I currently have:

I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing this. I can't help you, but good luck with picking up the rest you need.

I'm impressed too. I would be impressed if you had those cards UNSIGNED. But to have them all autographed is awesome. Scans look great. How many of the guys that you need are still living?

Thank you! Actually, the only 2 living members in the set are Yogi Berra and Red Schoendienst and I have those...all of the remaining players I need are deceased. The Stan Musial is farely common so I'm holding off on that one...but the rest are getting harderd to find.

I've enjoyed scrolling through your thread, and I think we've been bidding on some of the same cards recently. In fact, looking back, I bought a couple of ungraded cards from you as I've been putting together this same set. The autographed 1948 Bowman baseball set has always been my favorite, and once before I had 36/48 in the set graded authentic psa/dna, and I always regretted selling it off.

I've been putting the set together again obviously, and within the next 10 days or so I should have about 33/48 cards. Currently I have some at psa/dna, and hopefully those all come back authentic. Do you have any duplicates? Assuming the ones at psa come back alright, here are the 16 remaining ones I will need:

6 Yogi Berra
7 Pete Reiser
11 Johnny Lindell
16 Jack Lohrke
20 Buddy Kerr
28 Emil Verban
29 Joe Page
30 Whitey Lockman
34 Sheldon Jones
36 Stan Musial
38 Red Schoendienst
39 Augie Galan
40 Marty Marion
41 Rex Barney
46 Herman Wehmeier

Nice job so far on your set! I was a little skeptical about the Sheldon Jones when it was on ebay but hopefully that comes back authentic for you, that's a tough one to find.

Just updated photos and added a few more additions. I have a Rizzutto on the way and that will put me having 42 of 48 cards from the set!

With the help of smallmytable and a few other additions, I'm now down to the final 3 cards!
