Another great last gasp effort to find a winning formula....players in a color TV. I like the set, except for all the umpires, but it too was a bust. In 1955 very few U.S. households had a color TV

Color...Shmolor...

Yeah, my penny-pinching old man kept the family watching a grainy black and white 20-inch Philco all through the 1950's. I recall my mother writing after I had joined the service that he finally splurged (maybe a hundred bucks) on a huge color set in 1962. But, I also recall completely losing interest in card collecting at about the time the '55 Bowman set hit the store shelves. The color TV angle was way too cheesy for my tastes even then.
