That's a beautiful card. Don't get it graded.

If you dont want that ugly card I will take it and put it in my collection. LOL
Nice card!! There are actually a lot of 50s cards out there in great shape. I am putting together a 56 topps set and all the cards are in the same shape as the bowman you have.
Happy trading

I'll be happy to trade you that Bowman for your 1956 set. Straight up, you don't need to throw anything else in.

I love the 1956 set and have started working on it slowly. I am just back into collecting and have been focusing on the 1970s sets I knew as a child, but I've been pulling 56s out of the discount boxes at shows. I have about 40 cards now. My only criteria is that there is some white border all the way around and it doesn't look like it was used as a drink coaster or baby pacifier. After standing at a counter in a card shop with a want list and obsessing about which 1977 common has better corners, it is a lot of fun to just get cards for the heck of it.

Then you wouldn't want many of my 56s. They're pretty much the whole range from really nice to ones that look like the baby gave it to the dog after using it. Most of the bad ones came from my first "deal" a big stack of very poor grade cards from 48-59 maybe 400 or so. Pretty much every sort of damage included creases, holes, writing, some were even waxed to make them fly farhter for flipping. I sold all the extras a few weeks later for what I paid for the whole bunch.
