1940 Play Ball "Color Proofs" finally graded!
Posted By: Chris Counts
I came across a small lot of 1940 Play Balls at last weekend's Tri-Star show. I now some of you will cringe, and I realize they're not worth much, but I think they're pretty cool. What really amazes me is how much effort somebody put into colorizing them with what appears to be watercolor paint. I'm curious when the anonymous artist did his handiwork. I'm guessing because the cards are in such nice shape they were colorized back in 1940. Has anybody else seen anything like this?

I've shown this before, but I really like this one so I thought I'd share it again. My colorized W572.

I'm not sure what happened to the scan I posted 13 years ago, but here it is again. The Frey pictured above is also mine, but only the Demaree has been graded.
