1953 Bowman Football Cards - # 57 John Rapacz, C, New York Giants

The 1953 Bowman Football Card set contains 96 vintage size cards, issued in a single series, and measuring 2½" by 3¾".  The 1953 Bowman football cards were the only football cards produced in 1953.  The key rookie card is #1 Eddie LeBaron.  It has been determined that the 1953 Bowman football set was printed on three printing sheets of 32 cards each and that there were no series that were any scarcer than the others.  However, there are 24 card that are listed as short prints.  It is not known whether Bowman was still having trouble cutting and distributing the larger-sized cards in their factory or if the short-printing was the result of some other reason.  The 24 short prints are harder to find and therefore scarcer, commanding a higher price on the market.

Condition of the card is EXC with the mildest of rounded/dinged corners -  see pics
