I collect Southwest Conference Football memorabilia, as my dad was an official in the conference from 1977-90, so I saw literally hundreds of games in-person (mostly from the sidelines), etc.

I started (slowly) to collect the 1952 Bowman Football cards, smaller size, only because some of the cards show players with SWC affiliation. I have three cards in my collection so far, and I have been looking for a good checklist of 1952 Bowman football cards with only SWC players on the fronts. Does such a checklist exist? It becomes somewhat frustrating to type in 1952 Bowman and then the team names (Baylor, TCU, Rice, etc.) as I know I'm missing a lot of hits that way.

Any help or any ideas?

Many thanks!

I don't know of a way to search by conference, but you can see the colleges of the players in the 1952 Bowman Small set here:

Addresses of this form work for a school-by-school search:

Jay obviously the best SWC card in the set is that of Fred Williams of Arkansas, you have to look for any bright spots with the Hogs having a season like 2012?

Mike:
Yes, you do have to look for any bright spots for this year; and man, I did not like the white helmets with that gradient gray back. For white helmets, it would seem that having a red razorback and cardinal masks would look much better.

Oh, in case you are wondering, I'm an SWC fanatic. Grew up with the conference (my dad was an official from 1977-90)....
