1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese

[Kutcher55]

I understand the appeal but the card is a bit too precious and overvalued for me. I prefer the '53 Topps Reese and think this is actually his best card with an honorable mention going to the '41 Playball RC.

Tell me about it! I was comping some the other day. An "A" or a 1 goes for $300. No thank you. Not for that low of a grade.

Any idea why they posed Shuba on the ground facing in the wrong direction? Did he supposedly roll over after his slide?

Shuba suffered a knee injury early in his career and had surgery on it following the 1952 season. It seems possible that, in posing for the shot, he was anxious about Reese possibly landing on his knee. So, he flipped over while sliding.
