I'm with you Chris; have always loved the 1951 Bowman card. After that one, he vanished for a couple of seasons, which we kids struggled to comprehend as his devotion to military service. The '54 cards were kind of a letdown, in that the Bowman quickly disappeared, and the two Topps issues were rather pedestrian as cards go and seemed like just the great guy's cynical attempt to cash in with the card company. That '51 Bowman was a blazer though.
