1952 Bowman Small Football Autograph Project

Been working on this set for around 3-4 years via TTM, auctions, private sales, etc. Thought it would be easier than the large originally, but not really.

Great 144 card vintage set with beautiful artwork, classic team logos, and 35 HOFers including a few key RCs. I still have some real toughies to track down, but this project will always be one of my favorites.

Maybe I'll do the large one day if I can ever finish this one. Steve Owen, Wayne Millner, or George Halas would likely make me smile for a week, but I think the #1 Van Brocklin will be my fav.

    Great cards - thanks for sharing! I especially love the Hirsch, Fears and Paul Brown. I'm around 33% complete with the set; however I haven't put a lot of effort into it. I have a Wayne Millner Small that will be included in my next submission that will be for sale. Shoot me a list of the cards that you still need from the set. I'll see if I can help you with any.

    Thanks,

    That is REALLY cool. I do love the look and feel of this classic set -- the poses and team logos are beautiful!

    Thanks for giving me another thing to collect. image

    Isnt there a Charlie Choo Choo Justice in that set? Being from NC and being a huge Heel fan id love to see a copy of that auto'd card if you have one!

    Yes, there is a Justice in the set, but I don't have one. I believe one sold on ebay last year, but I didn't grab it.

    Mad props to you Spanky because I just don't have the patience to do a set like that! Awesome job and good luck!
    Hopefully another Choo Choo shows up for you soon
