You opened up a huge wound bringing this set up, Robert. 1952 Bowman L was one of the first one I completed when I started my to build pre-70s mainstream sets. Unfortunately my tastes have change in cards over time and now I wish I had been more choosy in the cards I bought. Someday I'll get around to perhaps upgrading some of them.
What a wonderful set to look at, though. I like all of the early Bowman sets but the large format of this set coupled with the dramatic colors just makes these cards POP.
Here are a few of the nicer ones I've got.
The only graded card I have in this set is the LAST card I was able to find. It's one of the short prints and was a bear to track down.
