MODERN Football question

What set of modern football mimicks the 1952 Bowman Football design? Fleer Tradition or Bowman Heritage? Checked out Ebay and came up with nothing...

Thanks for the help!

    I'm not aware of one that does, unfortunately, but maybe someone here knows of one.

    There might be some small insert set like it but no complete set that I'm aware of.

    Can't quite make out the year on that box. Is it 2001?

    It is 2001, nothing came up on Ebay until I put in "Glossy" so I guess their called 2001 Fleer Tradition Glossy. I found a few boxes between $55-75. Not a Modern collector by any stretch but I might give these a shot..

    There were two sets that year with the same design, Fleer Tradition and Fleer Tradition Glossy. The rookies are numbered in the Glossy set, and the key is the Tomlinson. Both sets have a Pat Tillman RC also.

    No such details will spoil my plans...

    I guess I didnt look hard enough- this card was the first style I came up with in my search under 2001 Fleer Tradition..

    That's the 2000 Fleer Tradition set Perk. One of my favorites.

    Was buying boxes for 15 bucks a couple of months ago.
    Now they're selling for $ 50.00 + just because of the Tom Brady rookie card ... image

    You should be able to pick up 01 tradition boxes pretty cheap, there isn't much in them and most of the big hits were
    redemptions.

    I did some more research and found a regular box for $20, definately not looking for #ed rookies or anything, just looking to fill a binder up. I love the 52 design so this will be just for fun.


    Thanks for the info guys!

    That's what it's all about.
    most of my dough is in vintage, but I love modern football cards a lot.

    Overproduced? Who gives a jolly good crap?
    I enjoy nice cards regardless of the year they were produced in ... image
