It has to do with the 1952 Bowman football set. I'm curious, were the large and small cards sold side-by-side, or did the large cards come along after the small cards sold out?
If they were sold side-by-side, why would anybody buy the small ones if they could buy the large ones?
I'd love to hear from someone who was there "back in the day"!

Early in the Fall of 1952, BOWMAN issued their 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....Nov/Dec of '52.
