1951 Bowman is certainly an iconic set (great artwork, larger format than previous Bowman releases, and the two biggest post war rookie cards).

And some say that 1952 artwork is even better, and the faux autographs replacing the box letters make them look a little more elegant.

Where’s the love?
As one commenter astutely pointed out, every Bowman set from ‘49 to’53 has a great claim to being the best sequel. I focused on the conventional big 3 when I asked the question, but you’re right that the 1952 Bowman belongs on this list.
