Rookies superstars and Hall of Famers are abundant in the 1952 Bowman Large football set. Notable first-timers include Art Donovan George Marchetti Hugh McElhenny and Andy Robustelli. There are many highly coveted short prints (SP) as well including Norm Van Brocklin Frank Gifford Charlie Conerly Gino Marchetti Steve Van Buren Kyle Rote and George Connor. The last card in the set #144 Jim Lansford was reportedly destroyed in large numbers during production thus making it one of the hobby’s most sought after football cards.
Offered here is a PSA graded complete set (144) of 1952 Bowman Football Large including the coveted #144 Jim Lansford in PSA EX-MT 6 of which only 16 have ever been graded higher by PSA. Several cards come in the highest grade given by PSA for that card. Ranking 12th on the current PSA set registry and 10th among complete sets with a 5.95 weighted GPA we haven’t seen a 1952 Bowman Large set of this quality come to the market in a long time. Total SMR value is $25000 (without adjusting for qualifiers).
