Why are 1953 Bowman color so awesome?

The cards have a certain warmth, unlike newer cards which have a brighter, crisper image. No criticism intended by the comparison.

As I mentioned the set for the most part offers beautiful photography, but there are certain numbers that didn't benefit from the process. It's hard to discern the facial features of Hector Rodriguez, #98, and the Lown, Surkont, Lollar, and Fox all appear to be a bit murky. Lie many previous sets quality control leaves something to be desired for this set- too many off-center and miscut cards to begin with. I've also wondered why there are two cards of Al Corwin in the set.

Are there any certain cards that collectors would like to point out for their artistry?

I can't believe no one has at least posted a card. Here's a Musial.

That's a very, very nice Musial. Let's see some more cards!

The Roberts is another stunner. The Phillies colors come through so richly, and the detail and texture of his glove...not to mention the expression on his face of course.

You have some great looking cards! Hopefully more 53 Bowman collectors will post their cards to share. Mid and lower grade cards are also fine to display, let's share our collecting with one another.
