1955 Bowman Football Cards

There are 160 cards in the 1955 Bowman football card set. I believe the cards were printed on 5 sheets of 32; you can see what they looked like on my 1955 Bowman virtual sheet page. Bowman apparently printed fewer copies of the fifth sheet than the other four, because most of the scarce cards in the set appear on the fifth sheet.

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 1955 Bowman set: Bob St. Clair, Frank Gatski, Jim Ringo, John Henry Johnson, Len Ford, Mike McCormack.

Rookie cards of Heisman Trophy winners in the 1955 Bowman set: Alan Ameche.
