"Topps went to the expense of paying artist Gerry Dvorak $25 per card to sketch and paint the players. Although the 1953 Topps Baseball card set contains some attractive action shots, the set is primarily noted for its carefully drawn expressions, which are chronicled on the headshots shown on the cards."

PS It still boggles my mind how one guy (it appears he did them all) painted the entire set under what would have been a very tight deadline. Incredible!
