1950s Paint-a-player paint by numbers, a cool colorful rarity.

[JayZim13]

I have a Paint-A-Player Set. The 3 pictures are all Brooklyn Dodgers: Item #J500 which includes Johnny Podres, Pee Wee Reese and George Shuba.
The item is rarely seen and this is the first one with that I have seen with only Dodgers.
There are 2 different boxes: the one shown in the original thread and one with Musial instead of Mantle (not sure about all the other players).

I attached an article from a 1954 toys and novelties magazine describing the game.

I tried uploading some other photos but had no luck. It seems anything taken by my phone doesn't upload on net54.

Almost every picture taken with a phone is too large to upload on this site. They need to be reduced first, before trying to upload.

Yes, whoever completed the Stu Miller did a commendable job. I venture it was a lady or girl, not only for how carefully it was executed, but simply because of the three in the pack, they chose Stu Miller! I feel like most boys would have gone with the biggest star (Schoendienst).

These would have been so great if autographed!

Those are super cool

Kinda sad when even a Paint by Numbers looks better than a Perez!

Now I have another Eddie Mathews item I need to find. Those are a very cool item I have never seen before.

Ditto, except that the one I need to find is Mickey Vernon.

REA had one from the Yankees that showed the 3 canvas packs were a single sheet.

Iphones also take pictures as a HEIC file, not sure those are acceptable to the upload drop down menu. Best to convert to PDF before upload.
