Larger than the 52 series and more difficult to obtain, the 53 series is split into two different card sets. The color is considered by some to be the nicest put out by Bowman and it is real nice while the black and white look identical to the color in scheme and layout just no color. The black and white set was produced in far less amounts than the color and is considered difficult to put together and I firmly stand behind that from my own difficulty in findng these cards. To put these sets together will take time and money not needed for the some of the other sets. For the color set card #'s 113 to 160 are somewhat more difficult to obtain, for the black and white set the whole darned team set is hard to obtain so good luck.
