Description: Offered for your consideration is... Card #38 - LUKE APPLING ~ Chicago White Sox & longtime member, National Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF) 1947 BOWMAN BASEBALL CARD SET aka "The Set That Never Was" ~ scarce 1976 collector-issued set by HRT/RES An interesting and very collectible set patterned after the original 1948 Bowman Baseball Card Series is this "1947" edition produced by Ted Taylor (HRT) and Robert Schmierer (RES) to promote their Philadelphia Area sports memorabilia and baseball card shows in 1976-77. Made in the same size, style and from similar clay-based cardboard as the original Philadelphia gum company's product, the Taylor/Schmierer edition was billed as The Set That Never Was. Each card is nicely executed with in-depth biography written as if the card had just been issued - in 1947. The card served as a promotional item for the Taylor/Schmierer shows prior to the establishment of the Eastern Pennsylvania Sports Collectors Club (EPSCC). Card size: 2-1/8" by 2-1/2" - similar to 1948-1949 Bowman baseball cards. Condition: Excellent Shipping OPTIONS are available - YOUR CHOICE of either eBay standard envelope service (ESE) which is cheaper with slower delivery or USPS Ground Advantage (more costly for single cards but much faster delivery). We also offer UNLIMITED singles (up to and including 8X10 inches in size) shipped via Ground Advantage for the one card rate.
