7% VG/EX, 35% VG, 43% GOOD, 11% FAIR, 4% POOR. Along with their baseball cards, 1955 marked the final year of Bowmans production of cards.  The cards themselves, however, ran rings around their baseball counterparts from a design standpoint, each player's sharp image silhouetted with a bright halo set against a colorful background.  The photos were comprised of a combination of portrait and posed "action" images, creating an attractive card and an excellent variety of poses and colors.  Presented here is a collector-grade set, with wear throughout.  A breakdown of the key cards includes #1 Walker (VG), #7 Gifford (VG), #25 Matson (VG), #32 Van Brocklin (GOOD), #37 Groza (FAIR), #42 Johnson (FAIR), #43 Fears (VG), #44 Perry (G), #52 Summerall (GOOD), #62 Blanda (FAIR), #70 Ringo (POOR), #71 Layne (GOOD), #72 Tittle (GOOD), #75 McElhenny (GOOD), #101 St. Clair (GOOD, #104 Nomellini (GOOD), #119 Gatsky (GOOD), #120 Robustelli (GOOD), #134 Stautner (VG), #136 Tunnell (VG), #152 Landry (GOOD).  160 cards total.
