The 1952 Berk Ross card of Campanella shares the same image as the 1953 Stahl-Meyer, but the Stahl-Meyer card aesthetically trumps the Berk Ross across the board (larger size, sharper image, more natural coloration, the better, fuller composition, even the inclusion of those standing room only fans silhouetted at the far end of the lower deck and the dude in the dugout makes the Stahl card superior). This photo of Campy was also used to artistically create his 1951 Bowman and 1952 Wheaties cards, but they lack the full stadium background majesty.
