Default Show us your 1952 Bowman (large) cards

Good question--and since 100% of my set is original purchase cards by me alone & stored all these yrs maybe my answer will be useful & insightful as to the make-up of this wonderful set.

Of the 21 cards I DIDN'T have graded--4 were actually because of some creasing rather than being mis-cut.

That leaves 17 cards that WERE mis-cut & not graded--Here are the #'s:

9-18-26-36-42-43-45-47-49-50-51-52-53-54-58-59-71.

The unique thing is they were ALL Series I (1-72) and 5 were SP's--None were the plus 1's! The 2nd Series was BY FAR the better centered cards--and got the majority of the higher grades.

None of my miscuts were anywhere near like your Conerly example--All 17 were about like the following 2 cards, which were the WORST CUT of the 17. The other 14 showed just a wee bit more of a border. (Cards shown are 2 SP's--9 & 18)

PS---I just noticed they are the last cards in Row 1 & 2 of your sheet! Wonder where they printed cards 1-10-19-28???





Hope this info may shed just a tiny bit more enlightenment as to the make-up of this classic set.

Any other questions are welcome as I have the set handy by & can easily check any card.
