Thomas Dewey 33 Appraisal

1952 Bowman U.S. Presidents Thomas Dewey Trading Card (#33)

This is a vintage trading card depicting Thomas Dewey, from the iconic 1952 Bowman U.S. Presidents series. The card features a high-quality color lithographic portrait of Dewey set against a blue-toned background. He is shown from the chest up, wearing a dark suit, white collared shirt, and a red patterned tie. Dewey's signature mustache is clearly rendered. The artwork is framed by a white border, with the subject's name, 'THOMAS DEWEY', printed in bold, black sans-serif font centered at the bottom. The card is standard size for the era (approximately 2.5 by 3.75 inches). This specific set is noted for its high-quality artistic renditions of political figures. The card appears to be in very good to excellent condition, showing sharp corners, relatively even borders (centering), and a clean surface without visible creases or stains. The printing is crisp with no noticeable fading. There is a slight off-white aging to the cardstock consistent with its mid-20th-century origins. Thomas Dewey was a significant political figure, notably the Governor of New York and the Republican nominee for president in 1944 and 1948, making this card a significant piece of political memorabilia and a key card for collectors of the Bowman Presidential set.
