random vintage double-header #1

I've decided to start a series of posts. The series will feature two vintage cards from my collection. I'll show them and say something about them. I saw this type of feature on other blogs and decided to try it out. It will be reserved for when I don't get anything new, have nothing to rant about, or just don't have much to say. Plus I love vintage! Here we go with volume 1:

Here we have two Bowmans. The short guy is a '49, the taller being a '51. I picked both of these up at a show a month or so back. Both very cheap. I like the size variation that Bowman seemed to have with every set they put out. I see how it could get annoying for storage. I really like the '51's and may need to get some more.
