Perhaps it may be better to recreate the the b&w set with alternate color photos rather than recoloring them. There have been some nostalgia-type 53 Bowman card sets that look fairly good and a version was created for one of the National Convention. (I am not counting the TCMA color set, they look ghastly.) Start with #161 and make sure to make some alteration to the reverse side as to indicate they are not authentic 53 Bowman Color cards. The sample and prototype cards could be reproduced as well as part of the extension.

Gus & Willie. Willie lost more games than he won but was known as "The Yankee Killer". Gus had roots in 3 generations of Bell ballplayers and was a Louisvillian ( sounds cool)

Deacon lost 4 years to the service, Air Force. Was once tossed after an umpire called ball four on as pitch he thought was a strike whereupon he knelt on the plate and prayed out loud for the umpire to better understand the strike zone

The Saturday Evening Post labeled him the "The Ballplayer Nobody Wanted" but became a very popular player with teammates and fans and was a key player in the Wiz Kids NL pennant in 1950 and voted the top Phils catcher of all time in 1969 by Phils fans. He and Dick Sisler would sometimes fake heated arguments in a hotel lobby or sit at the opposite ends of a lobby couch and continually cross their legs in different directions at the same time

Pecky could have been called Pokey because he has held the A's record for hitting into double plays

Was he the first guy to appear with sun glasses on a card ?.
He sat out the 54 and 55 seasons because the Senators offered him $ 4000 and he was offered $ 18,000 to sell shoes

WW 2 Navy vet, but best known for being the guy the A's got from Chicago for Nellie Fox ( think Brock/Broglio), and for being permanently banned from minor league baseball in 1959 for gambling issues ( think foul balls)

As mentioned in the 54 thread Miller had no fastball but his slow pitch had 3 speeds. Was blown off the mound in an All Star appearance in 1961 in Candlestick Park ( by wind not hits) and was called for a balk when it happened

He and Warren Spahn both stated that they thought Bobby Bragan the manager of the Milwaukee Braves managed to tank the 1964 pennant race because the Braves wanted to make the move to Atlanta easier

My dad could not stand Wilmer. Not sure why but I remember attending two games with Dad when Wilmer pitched and he grumbled the entire game. Wilmer was a decent pitcher and a conservative elected after baseball to Congress in North Carolina. His 53 Bowman card does look like he may be emerging from the Dark Side
