The 1951 Bowman Football set is one of my favorites. It's just one of the most beautiful sets ever. Any time that I can pick them up cheaply, I do. Condition really isn't an issue for me. I picked up 14 in this COMC order and only have 22 cards from the set. So, I don't see these cheaply very often.

Even having this card in person, I can't figure out if the photo is crooked, or what's going on. It plays games with my senses.

| 1951 Bowman #63 Bob Hoernschemeyer |
I guess with that last name, they felt that it was worth shortening his first name?

| 1951 Bowman #Otto Schnellbacker |
There aren't enough men named "Otto" these days.
