I have heard that the sliding player is French Bordagary, which would make it quite an old photo in 1953.

1) not sure
2) It's iconic because it's a piece of art on cardboard -- a perfectly framed action shot (albeit staged) of a HOFer in a highly collectable, attractive set. more trivia on the card (this, according to legendary collector Anthony N.e.x from an old thread on another forum ).... "it is the only black and white image in the set- it was hand colored to use on the card."

Don't understand----
I love the '53 Bowman set & have it complete since buying the packs back in the day, but I've never understood the fascination w/ that card. It's a terrible grainy,blurry photo, the action is a thousand miles away and the players are unidentifiable. Nothing at all neat about that card for me!

One of my favorite post-war cards for sure and one of my favorite players. Beautiful & iconic!

Say now, we can't have Mr Nex thinking he is legendary. No telling where that could lead
