There are 108 cards in Bowman's first football card set; they were printed on three sheets of 36. Cards with numbers divisible by 3 were short-printed, but not nearly as severely as the price guides indicate. Because of their positions on the sheets, some of the cards with numbers not divisible by 3 are actually scarcer in high grades. See my 1948 Bowman virtual uncut sheet page for an explanation. Also see B is for Bowman for a summary of the early Bowman sets.

Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1948 Bowman set: Sammy Baugh, Bill Dudley, Sid Luckman, George McAfee, Pete Pihos, Charley Trippi, Bulldog Turner, Steve Van Buren, Bob Waterfield, Alex Wojciechowicz. Rookie cards of Heisman Trophy winners in the 1948 Bowman set: John Lujack, Leslie Horvath, Bruce Smith.
