Offered for your consideration is... Card #40 - JOHNNY SAIN ~ Boston Braves from the 1947 BOWMAN BASEBALL CARD SET aka "The Set That Never Was" ~ scarce 1976 collector-issued set by HRT/RES An interesting and very collectible set patterned after the original 1948 Bowman Baseball Card Series is this "1947" edition produced by Ted Taylor (HRT) and Robert Schmierer (RES) to promote their Philadelphia Area sports memorabilia and baseball card shows in 1976-77. Made in the same size, style and from similar clay-based cardboard as the original Philadelphia gum company's product, the Taylor/Schmierer edition was billed as The Set That Never Was.
Each card is nicely executed with in-depth biography written as if the card had just been issued - in 1947. Collectors will want to add some of their favorites to their holdings. Card size: 2-1/8" by 2-1/2" - similar to 1948-1949 Bowman baseball cards. Condition: Very Good
