I paid a total of $2.90 for these cards. I usually don't want to pay more than $1 for 1950-55 Bowman football commons, but the 1948s aren't as easy to come into, so I was willing to pay just a little more.
I love the images on the 1950 and 1951 Bowman cards much better than the photos that came afterward. There's something about these photos that I enjoy. I believe that it's the black and white photo. That, or the helmets that the players are wearing.

This is the only card listed for both players on Trading Card Database. It's likely there are some oddball/regional issues not on the site, but they have to be the only mainstream cards. I wonder what percentage of players from the early days of trading cards had just one card and if those men were interested enough to try and own a copy.
I only have four cards from this set so far, but I'm almost 4% of the way to set completion! I have no plans to actually pursue completion, but I'll not pass up cheap cards that I come into.
If you shop online and haven't signed up and used ebates yet, you're missing out. I also use it on eBay to get money back from purchases there. Between referrals and cash back, I've gotten over $150 in a year. FREE CARDS!

Beautiful cards. Didn't know these even existed.
