Bring a piece of trading card history along for a day on the course. Founded in Philadelphia in 1927 as Gum, Inc., Bowman first built its name with Blony bubble gum before pairing gum with collectible cards. Its postwar return in 1948 brought baseball, football, and basketball sets, and the Bowman name later became known for rookie cards. This golf towel celebrates a company whose story connects early gum counters, classic sports collecting, and generations of fans. It makes a thoughtful choice for golfers, card collectors, and anyone drawn to the history of sports memorabilia.
Founded in Philadelphia in 1927 by gum salesman Jacob Warren Bowman as Gum, Inc., the company first built its business around Blony bubble gum. Blony became a leading penny gum in the United States, and by 1937 Gum, Inc. occupied a building on Woodland Avenue. Trading cards accompanied its gum, first on non-sports subjects and then in sports sets. Bowman issued Play Ball baseball cards from 1939 to 1941, paused card production during wartime paper rationing, and returned with cards under the Bowman name in 1948. That year it released popular baseball cards as well as its first football and basketball sets. After rival Leaf left the market in 1950, Bowman competed directly with Topps for players and card contracts. Topps acquired Bowman in 1956 for $200,000, and the original brand was discontinued. Topps revived the Bowman name in 1989 for sports card sets. Later products included Bowman Chrome, introduced in 1997, and Bowman Sterling, introduced in 2004. The brand is now owned by Topps and is known for cards featuring rookie players.
