Product Details
The 1953 Topps Baseball set, which boasted a checklist of 274 cards, was much smaller than that of 1952 Topps Baseball as a result of the intense competition Topps faced from Bowman in a very limited market of customers. They attempted to create the look of Bowman's 1952 set with one exception. Instead of line drawings the set was done with prints from small color paintings taken from black and white photos.
Most of the photography featured in 1953 Topps Baseball was geared towards player portrait style imagery rather than action poses. The portraits were beautifully handcrafted, making it a baseball card set for the ages. At the bottom of each card the player’s name, position, and team. The panels were either red or black depending on which league they were in, with red meaning it was for the American League and Black representing players from the National League.
The rarest portion of the 1953 Topps Baseball set are cards #221-280, referred to as the High Number Series.
