The colors are very vivid and quite impressive to look at. It has always baffled me about its origin. The pose, uniform and facial expression and everything about the card kind of grabs you. If anyone is familiar with this card please let me know.

I am not familiar with the card, but the photo is a Colorfoto. These appeared in the New York Daily News, Philadelphia Inquirer, and I am sure other papers via syndication. I have a scrapbook of 1940s/50s baseball clippings with many of them, including that one.
