   Bowman Gum - 1951
   Reprinted and expanded WTW Productions / FTCC - 1985

from the Bowman set and an alternate card 23 with original artwork. All cards are 
approximately 2-3/8" x 2-1/2". Bowman cards were found with either white (cream) 
backs or grey backs. American Card Catalog reference is R701-12. Scans are posted 
at the Vintage Non-Sports Cards gallery.
