Bowman was already including College FB players in their early 1950's sets (as they became NFL rookies). Shown here are several examples of this
on this 1952 (Large card issue) uncut sheet........ ![[linked image]](http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/b52football.jpg) TED Z

bowman
Sweet pic! I agree, I am just trying to figure out what all these are. I have found that of the over 100 cards of these I have.....every single guy is an all american..from pre 1950 up to all americans in 1956. It dates me right before the sale of bowman....I am just wondering if Bowman had thought of or put in motion an answer to the 1955 topps All american set that really took off for topps...................what do you think?

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. TED Z
