It is a special card...strong cloud colors are quite compelling.

This post gives me a good excuse to show the 1933 Goudey of Paul Richards. No bold sky colors, not my card, and I know it has been shown previously nine years ago, but that was so nine years ago, and I love the image which captures such a serene, commonplace baseball scene (based upon an actual photograph of Richards, which member Kawicka shared with us on post #122 of this thread), as well as the artistic use of the converging lines of perspective with the baselines, grass, and the field level grandstands.
