Beautiful 1953 Bowman Football complete higher-grade set, each card graded by either PSA or SGC. Many, ,many sharp cards with great color, even the mid-grade cards are very attractive, the lower technical grades due to being submitted with no qualifiers, sharp cards with normal Bowman centering. The entire set only has seven cards below the 5 level and even they are quite attractive. We have posted a number of scans so one can see the quality of the cards, with an emphasis on nicely centered cards, which is quite difficult for these.
