Prefer the 1939's
Most collectors prefer the colorized 1941 Playball's, but the pictures sometimes don't look like real photos. I prefer the 1939's because the pictures ARE real photos, and I have no problem with black & white - I kinda like Ansel Adams also with his black & white photography.
The centering, however, is of the utmost concern to me. A near 50/50 centered 1939 PB is a thing of beauty. I won't even consider cards worse then 55/45.
The 1939's represent a great hobby value in higher grades and centered.
Show me a nice 1939 HOF'er, I open my wallet gladly. Not the same feelings for the 1940, 41's.
