1952 Bowman FB (large issue) sheet
My sheet is missing the leftmost column of cards (#1, 10, 19 and 28). Bowman took their Small set and enlarged the size of
their cards in order to compete with the very popular larger 1952 Topps BB cards. Bowman had not yet increased the printing press track to 43 inches (used in the printing of all their cards from 1953 to 1955). In order to print all 144 cards in their FB set, they had to cut down the size of the cardboard to fit the press's track. Thereby, cards on the rightmost column and the leftmost column of an original 36-card sheet were truncated. That resulted in, all cards divisible by 9 are short-printed. And, all cards divisible by 9 (+ 1) are short-printed. ![[linked image]](http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/b52football.jpg) TED Z
