Why are 1953 Bowman color so awesome?
Lately I've been struck by how amazing the 1953 Bowman color set looks. The photos are just incredible - the colors and the contrast are orders of magnitude more vivid and lifelike than other sets of the era, and even (I dare say) going up through the '60s and '70s.
The Richie Ashburn, for example - it's like you're standing next to him in the dugout. Can anyone shed any light on why they are head and shoulders above everything else? Something in the technique or technology that was used in taking or processing the photos, or the printing? I have a feeling I may have found my next collecting project after I make some more progress on my HOFers... |
