The checklist for 1952 Bowman Baseball cards included 252 cards and the rookie cards of future hall-of-famer Orestes Minoso. The simple card design features a player portrait, white border, and facsimile autograph.
Cards measure 2 1/6″ by 3 1/8″ which is the final year Bowman produced undersized (by today’s standards) baseball cards. Their 1953 set would be closer to modern dimensions.
