The 1949 Bowman Wild West Set is an (180) card set. The cards are small format like all the 1949 Bowman cards and are broken down into (8) different subsets each having its own numbering scheme beginning with a letter from A to H and a number. The series include Winning the West #A-1 to A-40, Indian Customs #B-1 to B-20, Famous Characters #C-1 to C-20, Indian Warfare #D-1 to D-20, Cowboy Life #E-1 to E-20, Law and Order #F-1 to F-20, River Days #G-1 to G-20 and Western Stars #H-1 to H-20.
This set is a particularly clean VGEX to EXMT set with just a couple in lower grade and a few higher graded ones. In addition to the card set, there is a copy of the Classics Illustrated Comic Book #62 entitled Bret Harte's Western Stories. The book is in VF condition and very clean.
This near set numbers (158/180) cards from the 1949 Bowman Wild West series. The set is missing cards G9-G20 and H1-H20 to be complete. The cards range in condition from VG to EXMT with the vast majority of them being in the VGEX to EX range. The set is colorful and clean and, with a few adds could be a great mid-grade set for a 1950's gum card collection.
