The 1952 Bowman Large football set is one of the most beautiful and popular postwar football issues. Conceived as a test issue the set was produced in response to the success of Topps' larger-format baseball cards issued earlier in the year. Considered by many to be the most popular football set the '52 Bowman Large issue is a beautiful colorful set with a large number of Hall of Famers and rookie cards. Presented here is the rookie card of Ollie Matson a beautifully-centered well cared-for card consigned from the collection of its original owner. Corners are reflective of a higher-grade card with the exception of the bottom-right which exhibits a slight ding that reduces the technical grade but certainly not the eye appeal.
