Offered is a partial set of the elegant 1955 Bowman Football issue, an array of cards not atypical of how these cards are often found in older collections. The partial set presents largely Very Good to Excellent, though about 1/3 of the group would be saddled with a technical grade of Fair because of pinholes. The array comes out to roughly 33 percent Excellent to Ex-Mt, 29 percent Good to VG-Ex and 37 percent below. A listing of the missing numbers appears at the end of this entry. Breakdown of keys: No. 1 Walker – Fair, 2 McCormack – VG-Ex, 10 Pihos – Ex m/c, 16 Conerly – Fair, 19 Hart – Fair, 25 Matson – Very Good, 28 Christiansen – Fair, 32 Van Brocklin – Fair, 37 Groza - VG-Ex m/c, 42 Johnson Rookie – Fair, 43 Fears – Fair, 44 Perry – VG, 52 Summerall Rookie – VG-Ex, 59 Ane – Fair, 62 Blanda – Ex, 72 Tittle – Fair, 75 McElhenny – Fair, 104 Nomellini – Fair, 119 Gatski Rookie – Fair, 121 Robustelli – Fair and 139 Trippi – VG. The missing numbers: No. 3, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 21, 60, 63, 64, 65, 71, 73, 76, 78, 87, 88, 95, 97, 101, 108, 112, 132, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138, 144, 146, 152 and 158.
