This 1948 rare uncut set of Bowman football trading cards shown Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, ushered in the modern era of football cards. The set is part of a pop-up exhibition celebrating football’s history through the ages with vintage trading cards. The 150 cards, including a series from 1894, are among approximately 600 from the museum’s vast collection of sport trade cards donated to the Met by the late hobby pioneer Jefferson Burdick.
