For those of you that know the 52 Bowman Large football set, you know how very tough it is to find well centered cards especially the HOF'ers, well I just picked this beauty up off of Ebay and I must say Im very happy!
Thanks to Stown and Big Daddy Bowman I stepped into the Vintage Football collecting arena recently and I cannot get enough of it, I am mainly focusing on '52 Bowman Large along with some 50/51 Bowman and 55 Topps AA's as well. There are a bunch of you Vintage Football guys on here and I would love to see some of your new purchases or some of your favorites in your collection.

One of my all-time favorites. How can you not love Bowman Football 1950-1955!
How about the arm growing from the head??
Loves me some shiny!

Rube did you win that Younger on Ebay? the PSA 8 for $102? If so Im VERY angry at you! But if you happen to have a 7 that you would sell me I might forgive!

i didnt know you were going to start doing 50 bows paul?did you get the fever for 50 bows too?i have to start getting so of the heavy weight cards in 8,s,ive been working on the commons for so long,it time to shell out some bucks and get doak-lou the toe-perry-motley-otto-hirsch-lavell-/knox- trippi/ probably forgetting somebody im sure,think my baugh is a 7
need em all 8's to shoot me up, all of mine are 6's thats hurting me on the registry,commons dont move ya up much but need em all 8 or 9 even,the star card in high grade knock ya up pretty quick
i either gotta work on star cards or start getting my autos slabbed for the all auto set and blue flips switched to reds with grade

Stown, looks like some of those used to be mine.
I gave up on the set but kept these two beauties for myself. Two of my favorite cards.
as if you didnt already know=great looking cards!
Needs'
1972 Football-9's high#'s
1965 Football-8's
1958 Topps FB-7-8
and I have always loved the 48's just because the Black and White makes them look so OLD!

That Babe Parilli card always makes me smile. Double jointed or what? Good stuff.
BTW that Baugh is high on my list of things to get come the new year!
Thanks, as always, for sharing

<< <i>Any of you guys collect '53 Bowman football? I hardly ever see any pics or talk about it. I will eventually pick up a few myself, I actually like the old school photography used, definately gives it a vintage look. >>
Paul...your wish is my command. Here are a few of my favs...
The 53's are my least favorite Bowman issue...they are really tough to find in higher grades.

Yet another set to blow money on. I blame perkdog and dam him to hades.

See how easy it is? All you gotta do is post a few Vintage football pics and it can make you turn into a fiend searching for a fix!
Here's the first of 144 6s that I'll eventually purchase.
