In addition to Phil Rizzuto, I also unofficially collect vintage Jerry Coleman cards. I believe this is my first 1954 Bowman of any kind, and I'm glad it's of Coleman. The card is pretty severely creased, which lead to its very low price.
Overall, I like the set. It's very simple. If
Night Owl were naming it, I think the "Post-It Set" might work, as the name strip reminds me of those thin Post-It strips.
It's funny to think that this simple set preceded the "TV set" by just one year. Bowman really went after it in '55.
I found the card back to be a pleas
ure to read as well.
Great card of Jerry!. My oldest baseball card is a '51 Bowman of the Colonel that has been well loved. Gotta love vintage Jerry.
