Default The Topps "Flexichrome" Process

Posted By: davidcycleback

1950s-60s trading cards that are based on a photo but have gaudy, almost fluorescent colors were made from flexichromes. Often times the background is a solid, bright color. 1957 Topps football is a perfect example of a set made from flexichrome photos.

The 1953 Topps were probably painted with acrylic or similar 'real' paint.
