OK...technically not a white whale because I already have it as an 8..but it is one of my top 5 favorite cards of all time....probably my #1 favorite. I love this card! To me it perfectly exemplifies the vintage Bowman football issues. Great looking card...great picture, great colors, great Bear logo, great nickname, great player! I haved eyed this on ebay forever....sent a low buy it now offer...worked out a deal off ebay that worked for both of us..and now this beauty resides in the BDB collection...where it will stay until I croak.....or I find a 10 image

    Awesome card. I would say one of the greatest early offensive lineman. He credits himself for creating the draw play.

    thanks!
    I thought that Otto Graham and Marion Motley were credited with "inventing" the draw play...of course I am a Clevelander so I am biased.

    Even the background of the card is great, it looks like some out of the way practice field with the trees in the background and the cirrus clouds in the sky hint that Football season is on its way.

    I forgot where I read it but I remember an interview with Bulldog. He said he realized everytime that Luckman went back to pass the nose tackle and linebackers would stop rushing and look for somebody to cover. Bulldog was all alone in the middle of the field so he came up with the idea to drop back like you're going to pass but then hand it off up the middle. I believe the first year they did it the draw averaged 25 yards.
