1952 Bowman Small Football Cards

There are 144 cards in the 1952 Bowman Small football card set. Except for their size, the cards are identical to 1952 Bowman Large cards. The Smalls were printed on sheets in the same arrangement as the Larges, but the Smalls fit properly on the sheets, so there are no short prints in the Small set. See my virtual uncut sheets of 1952 Bowman Large football cards for more details. 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 1952 Bowman Small set: Andy Robustelli, Art Donovan, Frank Gifford, George Halas, Gino Marchetti, Hugh McElhenny, Jack Christiansen, Joe Stydahar, Les Richter, Ollie Matson, Paul Brown, Steve Owen, Wayne Millner, Yale Lary.
