Topps getting creative with this cool action figure insert card design “Bowman in Action.”

What do you think about this insert?

1948 was a big year for the new Bowman trading card company.

The first sets were released for baseball and basketball cards, but there was a stark contrast between those two sports at that time. Baseball was America’s pastime, while basketball was still picking up popularity. That was reflected in the print runs for the two products. Since more baseball cards were released than football cards, more have survived in the last 76 years.

Remarkably, only three packs of 1948 Bowman Basketball have reached the offices of third-party grading leader PSA. Two 8s and one 7 exist.

Nat Turner—CEO of Collectors, the parent company of PSA—has purchased both 8s in the past three years. Turner is a massive basketball card and pack collector, often showing off his eye-popping pieces from his impressive collection on his Instagram account.

Hi Everyone,

Please checkout my new unboxing of two 2024 Bowman Chrome Mega Boxes. I got a few cards that are definitely going into my collection and one card in particular that I was super pumped to pull.

Thank you for you support!!

Jackson Merrill's 2021 1st Bowman card has long been known to feature a photo of someone else on it, but we were able to track down that unwitting imposter and get the story behind how the mix-up happened.

“I was so confused. I was like, ‘What is going on right now? Why is my picture on this major-league player’s Bowman card?’”

Apparently there is exactly one Isaac Frye autographed Jackson Merrill 1st Bowman card out in the world somewhere too...
