1989 Bowman Baseball Card Needs

I collected way too many of these cards. In hindsight, as a 11/12 year old without a lot of spare change, I found the price of the 1989 Upper Deck set to be too expensive. The Bowman cards were a novelty, and I could get more of them.

Now into adulthood, I have way too many of them. Duplicates, triplicates, quadruplets, etc.

And the truth is, this card set sucks. After Topps brought this brand back, they used an idiosyncratic size requiring 8 pocket pages. The cards have little shine, lousy photography, mediocre stock, and of course have the signature bad uncentered cuts to them.

Bowman today represents early flyers on rookies and prospects, but this was just a card set to offer variety to the 1989 Topps set. And inexplicably, there is a Bowman Tiffany set as well, which I have not delved into, and may never have the desire for.

Beyond that, here are my final needs, which I suppose I can pick up in my local card shop if I ever take a list with me.

I am missing 32 out of 484 Cards plus 11 Retro Cards
