I'm not sure; but, I would not be surprised that Bowman's artists were planning to emulate the Topps All-American FB set of 1955.
My uncut 1952 FB sheet is a perfect example of how Bowman immediately responded to the very popular larger card format of the
1952 Topps BB cards. Very late in the 1952 season, Bowman experimented with their printer's 38-inch track press to produce their
larger card version of their 1952 FB smaller size cards.
In 1953 Bowman's printer employed a larger 43-inch track press to print their larger card 1953-1955 BB, FB and Non-Sports issues.
