Bowman 1949 Baseball Card Values

In 1949 Bowman increased the size of its set to 240 numbered cards. Cards 145 to 240 were printed in smaller quantities and are therefore scarcer and more valuable than the earlier series. Rookie cards in the set include Duke Snider, Robin Roberts, Roy Campanella, Larry Doby, Richie Ashburn, and Satchell Paige.

Centering and overall condition are extremely important when evaluating baseball card values. Hobbizine vintage baseball card value guides list prices in five grades from Good to Mint. See the bottom of this page for more information about how these prices and grades are established.
