1949 Bowman reprint Cubs Checklist

Basic Features

Issued in 1988 by the New York-based Card Collector's Company [C.C.C.], this set contains REPRINTS of 1950 Bowman cards. Cards are of glossy stock and are noted on the reverse as "REPRINT 1986 CCC". Reputable reprint producers like Card Collectors Company clearly mark their cards with "REPRINT" on the bottom back.

The reprints provide a real alternative for those who are attracted to vintage cards but can't afford them. With the price of old vintage baseball cards skyrocketing, so too are the vast numbers of counterfeiters out there.

To prevent purchasing a false piece of history, always get a professionally graded card from a recognized provider. In the future, graded cards will be significantly more valuable.
