'52-'67 for Topps, '54-'55 for Bowman.
'52-'55 Topps have a sales promo sticker on the back, '55 also has a Doubleheader stapled to the back. '56 to '67 have full printing on the back, typically 2/3 ad copy and 1/3 the back of a card- not usually the card pictured on the front.
'54 Bowman has a small diamond shape sticker on the back, '55 has a full size sticker on the back.
'54 Bowman are 4 card panels, '56 Topps has 4 card or 3 card panels, all the rest are 3 card panels. There are point of purchase displays (POP in the ad business) for '59, '61 and '62 that have 8 cards or more on them, but they have no printing or stickers on the reverse and are not salesman samples but in store advertising material.
I suppose there are people that collect the cut up panels, but IMO they have virtually no value- similar to cut up '41 Doubleplays.
