1951 Bowman #132 William Swiacki PSA 5 – A Clean Example of a Tough College Gridiron Star

This 1951 Bowman #132 William Swiacki showcases a former Columbia University standout and NFL end, captured in the classic artistry that defines this celebrated post-war set. While Swiacki may not be a household name today, his impact on the game—most notably his legendary catch that helped Columbia defeat Army in 1947—has made him a fan favorite among vintage football collectors.

Graded PSA 5, this mid-grade specimen retains strong aesthetic appeal, with a well-framed image, rich vintage toning, and solid registration throughout. The surface is clean for the grade, and the corners exhibit the expected wear of a card over 70 years old, yet nothing that detracts from the bold, nostalgic visual presence. A strong representative of early Bowman football issues, this card blends collegiate lore with the growing excitement of 1950s NFL cardboard.
