1950 Bowman Football Cards
There are 144 cards in the 1950 Bowman football card set; they were printed on 4 sheets of 36. My 1950 Bowman virtual uncut sheet page shows what the sheets looked like. Though the price guides do not say that any of the cards are short prints, it appears to me that the last sheet, which held cards 109-144, was printed in somewhat smaller numbers than the others.
Also see my blog article, B is for Bowman, for an overview of the 1948-1955 Bowman football card sets.
Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1950 Bowman set: Tony Canadeo, Tom Fears, Jim Finks, Otto Graham, Lou Groza, Elroy Hirsch, Dante Lavelli, Marion Motley, Joe Perry, Y.A. Tittle. Rookie cards of Heisman Trophy winners in the 1950 Bowman set: Glenn Davis.
