Early Bowman football cards in G-VG are readily available on ebay and I love the look of the old Bowman cards ... in particular the 1950 Bowman and 1952 Bowman Large sets.
For some sets, baseball commons are more expensive than football while for others it's just the opposite. Regardless, completing the football sets is typically much easier than completing the baseball sets for a number of reasons:
1. The football stars are not as expensive to obtain. For example, early '50s Mickey Mantles are often very expensive as compared to the most expensive card in each football set.
2. Football sets are much smaller than baseball in this era so there are fewer cards you have to purchase to complete them.
Note that before you tackle 1952 Bowman Large, some of the SP's in this set are VERY expensive and difficult to obtain. The other Bowman sets are much, much easier to finish than this one.
Hope that helps.
