While chatting with a friend who collects cardinals he shared this collection of 3 "paint-a-player" paint by number canvases with me. I consider myself somebody who is quite familiar with postwar oddball sets but these I had never seen before. I am thrilled to have another item for my Schoendienst PC to chase *wink wink* and it looks like there is some superstar power in the set based on the box. So something for other player/team collectors to chase as well.
One of the examples he got (Stu Miller) is actually colored, and wow it is beautiful. The facial shadowing is spectacular for a 1950s painting kit.
The kit dates roughly from 1953-1956 based on Gilliams debut in 1953 and Stu Miller/Hemus leaving the cardinals in 1956.
Please share if you have any colored or not.
