1) Has it ever been established who the belly down player is underneath Reese?
2) Why is it such an iconic post-war card? I could quickly name some of my own reasons but that would preclude other comments. RULE: only ONE coment per reply. (I'm not really big on rules, but hey... ![]() |

I have heard that the sliding player is French Bordagary, which would make it quite an old photo in 1953.

1) not sure
2) It's iconic because it's a piece of art on cardboard -- a perfectly framed action shot (albeit staged) of a HOFer in a highly collectable, attractive set. more trivia on the card (this, according to legendary collector Anthony N.e.x from an old thread on another forum ![]() |
