1954 Bowman Football Cards
There are 128 cards in the 1954 Bowman football card set, with cards 65-96 being short prints. The cards were printed on four sheets of 32, and the sheet containing cards 65-96 apparently was printed in smaller quantities than the others. See my virtual uncut sheets of 1954 Bowman cards for details.
The price guides list two variations of the Tom Finnan card, error and corrected, but both variations are actually in error. For an overview of the 1948-1955 Bowman sets, see my blog article, B is for Bowman.
Rookie cards of Pro Football Hall of Famers in the 1954 Bowman set: Doug Atkins, George Blanda. Rookie cards of Heisman Trophy winners in the 1954 Bowman set: John Lattner.
