53 Bowman Reese
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...  )

It's just the unique shot. Nice that it's a HOFer and a well executed set, but the shot is it.

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 ).... "it is the only black and white image in the set- it was hand colored to use on the card."
