This is a great shot of Stan Musial. All of the marks are from the penny sleeve that I have the card in.

#33 Reese. I've always admired the "other-worldliness" of this image. Unfortunately, it's also the weakest card in my set condition-wise.

Pee Wee Reese - always one of my favorite cards

Phil, that's a nice Pee Wee. If you'd have turned it sideways, it would have fit on my screen.
Bob, especially nice Reese there. |

Pee Wee's old house in Louisville. But not likely a glove he left behind
|
Has the player sliding under Reese ever been identified?
|

Not sure if the player was actually identified. Lots of stories about this card- it was a black and white image shot before the war and hand colored, the sliding player was Billy Herman, or it was Cookie Lavagetto, or someone else entirely. But never anything that seemed definitive. |
Not the nicest example, but it's the only 1953 Bowman card I actually have...total classic, found this in an old shop and had to have it. Someday I'll tackle this set...and upgrade this card...

Another board member just pm'd me, the sliding player is Frenchy Bordagaray, and the only year he was a teammate of Pee Wee's was 1942.

I wonder which Bowman card Paul treasured most

Though somewhat forgotten now, Paul Richards was very influential as a manager and later general manager in the 50s, 60s, and into the 70s.

Even though I have completed my 1953 Bowman Color set, I'm still learning its intricacies. For example, when shopping for #41 Sammy White I noticed that it was more expensive than other ungraded commons in excellent or better condition. Well, here is #41 Sammy White

Crawled to home plate on June 11, 1952. Which surely pissed off Satchel Paige

Maybe because he was only 16 when he first played for the Dodgers
