I acquired this unique gem in Cooperstown, NY in 1991. It is a significant piece of Baseball History, for there was no Major League WORLD SERIES played in 1904.
Mgr. John McGraw of the NY Giants (NL Champs) refused to play Boston (AL Champs). Therefore, the Eastern League (AAA) Buffalo Bisons became the de facto....
"1904 World Champions"
Speaking about McGraw......the only known McGraw (glove) card with a
UZIT back.
Fall of 1952, BOWMAN issued this very artistic 144-card FB set. In order to compete with the very popular larger size 1952 Topps BB cards, Bowman re-sized
their regular set of FB cards. Then re-issued these larger size cards circa Winter of '52. I acquired this sheet in 1982, at a Hobby shop in Media, Pennsylvania
This unique sheet includes FB stars.....Sammy Baugh, Otto Graham, Y. A. Tittle, Charlie Justice, Charley Trippi, Hugh McElhenny, and Frank Gifford (rookie card).
