Description: This listing is for one scarce US Bowman Football Trading Card of Ollie Matson 1955 BOWMAN FOOTBALL CARD #25 PLAYER: Ollie Matson CONDITION: EX or better, nice gloss, minor handling, almost no surface wear, minor edge wear, no creases, corners a tiny bit soft. NOTES:Ollie Genoa Matson II (1930–2011) was an American Olympic medal-winning sprinter and professional football player. He played as a halfback and return specialist in the National Football League (NFL) from 1952 to 1966 for the Chicago Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams. He played college football for the San Francisco Dons and was selected by the Cardinals in the first round (third overall) of the 1952 NFL draft. Matson was named an NFL first team All-Pro seven times and selected to the Pro Bowl six times during the course of his professional career. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1972, and later included in the NFL's 1950s all-decade team during the league's 100th anniversary celebration. The image on this card just about says it all for early football cards.Matson's berserker attitude here is a classic, and he also took the same approach on his 1957 Topps card! --------------------------------------------------------------- With our card listings, we combine purchases - The total shipping cost is not to exceed $4.00, and we will refund any overage spent by the buyer on postage. ================================================= All cards in our listings come from original owners who purchased them at shows in the 1980s, or in packs at earlier dates. We only sell ungraded cards, because we feel the decision of where and when to grade belongs specifically to the next owner. Therefore all the cards chosen to be listed [even though they may have small inevitable detractions] will have enough special virtues to warrant their selection for the spotlight. Please refer to all photo scans included, which are of the actual items in the listing - These are an important part of the descriptions. Scans of the cards having a dark background were done with the scanner top open, those with a white background had the top closed. Please view the images carefully to see the conditions. Sometimes the actions of the scanner and/or the image editing programs - either from the computer, the scanner, the camera, or the program provided by eBay for listing images - can create something that is not there in real life, primarily a pattern in reflection that appears to be from ink, but is non-existent. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If this occurs, we will endeavor to bring it to your attention in the 'Condition' area above. Please ask any questions prior to purchase. No foreign sales. Thank You.
