“ This card is really ugly. I don’t know if this design is a throwback to an older Bowman set or something but it doesn’t look too good here. ” -pugchump

according to BaseballcardPedia, it looks like the knothole was one of three designs Bowman was looking at for the 1956 set which never ended up happening. Looks like Bowman was going to go with a double image design that honestly doesn't look much better than this imo. ------------------------------- I don't like McDonalds, but I'll take all your Big Macs
