Chris CountsI'm not sure what is more surprising ... the fact that so little is known about the artists who created pre-war cards ... or the fact that there seems to be little interest in knowing who the artists were.
As far as I'm concerned, the best baseball cards are art. In particular, I'd like to know who painted the T3s and the Obaks, which I believe feature the best pre-war art. These guys deserve to be in art museums ...
And as far as the post-war era is concerned, I'd love to know more about the artist(s) who painted the wonderful Bowmans from 1950 to 1952, and the photographer(s) who captured those amazing 1953 Bowman images ...
