Hands down favorite set for me is the '52 Bowman Large. After Topps came out w/ those BIG 1952 baseball cards, imagine my surprise when in the Fall of '52 Bowman followed suit & issued their FB cards in the same large format!
I never stopped buying packs until I had put that set together! Little did we know back then that the result was so many short-cut cards because Bowman was squeezing them onto the same size sheets as their previous small issues!
I finally had SGC grade all 144 of my original cards back in the middle of 2000's and of course many were 50's & 60's only because of being close cut! My Halas is an example of a NRMT card penalized for the cut!
Here are a few of them:
