Pretty sure that until the actual color photography of the 53 set Bowman just colorized black and white photos. I think there is one or more threads in here on the Richards card which is a drawing rather than a colorized photo. One theory was that he was a late add to the set and no suitable photo was readily available. He had retired back in 1946 and had just taken the White Sox manager job in 1951. Someone else may have better info
