| Comments: I first purchased
a PSA 7 in August, 2003. I listed it on my website for a little
more than my purchase price and it sold. I took the proceeds and
bought another PSA 7 in July, 2004. It was sold in November, 2006.
In June, 2010 I won a PSA 8.5 in an eBay auction for $200 but the
card never arrived. I was having problems with packages destined
for my PO Box disappearing so I filed some claims with the US Postmaster
Generals office. USPS issued me a refund after I supplied proof
of the purchase. What follows is an amazing story. I recorded the
certification number of the Chylak and a couple weeks later it shows
up on eBay - an auction listed by a local Denver dealer. I called
the agent assigned to the case and the auction was closed. All C's
Collectibles cooperated fully and ended up selling me the card at
their cost - a hundred bucks. |

| Description: |
Bowman produced its final baseball card set as an
independent card maker in 1955, a popular issue which has color
player photographs placed inside a television set design. The set
consists of 320 cards that measure 2-1/2" X 3-3/4" in size. High-numbered
cards (#s 225-320) appear to have replaced certain low-numbered
cards on the press sheets and are somewhat scarcer. The high series
includes 31 umpire cards. |
