1952 Bowman Salesman Sample vs Partial Production Sheet

[Griffins]

Bowman did not utilize salesman samples until 1954
There are 53 Bowman strips listed as salesman samples, but they are not.
I can post more later when I’m at a computer, but Bowman issues them in 54-55, Topps ‘52-‘67, and Fleer in 59. Playball backstamped individual cards in ‘39 and those would fit the criteria for salesman samples as well

Anthony, that's interesting info. Thank you.

So, are you saying that the six card 1952 Bowman panel that accompanied the salesman letter in the Topps Archives blog post (linked above) is likely indistinguishable from a cut production sheet...because those samples likely WERE cut from production sheets?
