The 1953 Bowman Color set is perfection derived with simplicity. Pure photographic brilliance, enhanced by the before game and late day shoots, which captured the great ballparks of the day along with the eerily empty shadows of those same parks. These factors, combined with the up close poses, and ever smiling subjects, makes this set a classic which may never be supplanted as the greatest visual baseball card set of all time.
