Too each their own, but the 1949 Bowman's are not usually considered an aesthetic highlight of post-war vintage. Crudely colorized black and white photos don't do it for me, and I'm not alone here. I do not think many collectors will say the 49 Bowman looks better than his 53 Topps.

Disagree wholeheartedly. Too each his own though.

Ditto. My 1949 Bowman Lou Boudreau is one of my favorite cards. Love the colors.

I like the 53T too, but compared to the Bowman it has an almost cartoonish quality IMO.

When I had the money for a nice Paige, I went with the ‘49 Bowman. I really like the colors and the pose - have seen the pose elsewhere as it is semi famous.
