The 1948 Bowman Baseball Card Set was the first major, nationally-issued baseball card set since 1941. The 1948 Bowman Baseball Card Set is similar in appearance to the Playball sets of a decade eariler. During WWII paper stock was in short supply and needed for the war effort.
The 1948 Bowman set contains only 48 cards - 2 1/16 " by 2 1/2 " in size and printed in Black & White. The 1948 Bowman features an awesome Rookie Card Crop Hall-of-Famers: #3 Ralph Kiner, #6 Yogi Berra, #8 Phil Rizzuto, #18 Warren Spahn, #36 Stan Musial and #38 Red Schoendienst.
