1955 Bowman BB

The 1955 Bowman set consists of 320 cards, each measuring 2-1/2" by 3-3/4”. This was the company’s final baseball entry, and each card was styled after a color television set as a boldly colored, horizontally placed player image surrounded by a wood-grained border. The low number cards (#s1-224) feature blonde woodgrain while the high numbers (#s 225-320) feature a darker woodgrain. Each name appears in a small white box placed against the image. The set is anchored by the likes of Phil Rizzuto (#10), Roy Campanella (#22), Al Kaline (#23), Whitey Ford (#59), Hank Aaron (#179),Willie Mays (#184) and Mickey Mantle (#202).
