Important Notice: Please note that the format of this auction differs from a traditional eBay Live auction in that only absentee bids are accepted. There is no live "bidding on the close" in which to participate. All lots offered in this auction will close at exactly the same time, as opposed to a traditional one at a time closing of lots, and therefore there is no live "one lot at a time" bidding close in which to participate. Your left bids will compete with all other left bids by auction participants. Bids may be placed on the eBay system at any time prior to 9:00 PM EST, May 1, 2004. No bids will be recognized or accepted when the eBay Live "live bidding applet" is run early in the morning of May 2, 2004 strictly for the purpose of officially registering and recording the final auction results.

1952 Bowman Original Art #19 Bob Cain

This is the actual original artwork to card #19 of Bob Cain of the St. Louis Browns from the 1952 Bowman series. The Bowman sets from the early 1950s are highly regarded in part for their use of original paintings. This is a fine example of an original Bowman artwork used in the production of this classic baseball series. Bob Cain, like the beloved St. Louis Browns for which he toiled in 1952, has been forgotten by most, but as a member of the legendary Browns, and as a member of the 1952 Bowman set, he remains immortal. Normal glue marks from production process on reverse. Very tiny tear (approx. one-eighth of an inch) in upper left corner is virtually imperceptible and is mentioned strictly for the sake of accuracy. Clean and crisp with bright colors. The artwork measures 6.25 x 4.25 inches and is in overall Excellent condition. Accompanied by an example of the issued card. Reserve $400. Estimate $800/$1,200.
