1952 Bowman Baseball Card Set Guide


Set Description
Bowman cut back the 1952 set to 252 cards. The design looks very similar to 1951, except each player's name is presented as a facsimile signature/autograph at the bottom border of the card. The backs contain the same information as previous issues. Unfortunately this set is overshadowed but the 1952 Topps set, but is a nice looking set with many stars. Included in this Bowman offering are Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Stan Musial, and Yogi Berra, just to name a few. It is lacking in rookies, with Minnie Minoso being the only notable rookie. This year is notorious for cards being off centered and miscut.
