The 1950 Bowman Wild Man set pictures man, throughout the years, in acts of violence and wild activities. An interesting topic for kids to have pulled from wax packs in 1950, the set pictures topics like the Atomic Bomb, Cain and Abel the first murder, Hiroshima, Poison Gas and many other atrocities.
This set of (72) cards is a high grade mid-grade set averaging in EX to EXMT condition. There are about 8-10 cards that are in lower grade VG to VGEX condition. The cards are, for the most part, well-centered with clean backs and crease free. There are (3) PSA-graded cards including the following: #63 PSA6 EXMT, #66 PSA8 NMMT (OC) and #67 PSA8 NMMT (OC). This is a very attractive set that would be an immediate upgrade to most nonsport collections.
Originating in the collection of a very advanced PSA collector, this set and a number of others in the auction are high mid-grade sets mostly free of creases and individually sleeved in semi-rigids housed in 4 pocket pages in binders. As with this set, many of the sets are mostly ungraded with some nice or key cards graded as noted.
