The 1953 Bowman Color issue is considered by many to be the most beautiful postwar baseball card sets ever issued its fantastic full-color photographs creating a powerful but minimalistic design that has stood the test of time. The cards are perfect for autographs though a signed set is quite difficult to obtain. Presented here is an outstanding collection of 29 signed cards from the set many of which were obtained in person or through the mail by our consignor. Each signature was applied in blue ballpoint though the gorgeous signature of Solly Hemus may have been written in black (its difficult to tell). Included in the collection are the following: #3 Sam Jethroe (writing on reverse); #1 Davey Williams; #11 Bobby Shantz; #15 Jim Busby; #17 Gerry Staley; #20 Don Lenhardt; #25 Hoot Evers; #26 Roy McMillan; #27 Vic Raschi (writing on reverse); #48 Hank Sauer; #52 Marty Marion; #65 Robin Roberts (HOF); #79 Jim Hearn; #83 Jack Daniels; #85 Solly Hemus; #95 Wally Moses; #96 Sal Maglie; #105 Eddie Joost; #106 Ken Raffensberger; #108 Bobby Adams; #116 Eddie Yost; #126 Al Corwin; #127 Dick Kryhoski; #128 Whitey Lockman (writing on reverse); #129 Russ Meyer; #131 Connie Ryan; #146 Early Wynn (HOF); #149 Al Corwin; #151 Joe Adcock. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication. 29 cards total.
