Help with identifying this card

[camaro69]

I was wondering if some could help me identifying this card.It is similar in size to a 1954 Topps card. But as you can see it is black & white. But what seems to me even more unusual is that it is on paper stock.Very thin stock for sure. Thank you.

I believe it is a Topps Sports Illustrated Card from the sheets that were inserted in the first couple of issues of the magazine in 1954. They are paper thin.

I always thought they were like reprints of the real card and were in colour as well.Just like the real cards were.But you are likely correct.Thanks a lot for LMK.
