The 1953 Bowman set consists of 160 cards, each measuring 2-1/2" by 3-3/4”. Each card is distinguishable by its larger-than-life, vivid photographic image. The set offered facial details and uniform features never before seen on any predecessor. This #97 Eddie Mathews example is no different. What the card lacks in centering it makes up for with vibrant colors that were innovative at the time. The Boston Braves third baseman is shown swinging through what appears to be a towering drive. He signed the card in crisp blue ink, the distinctive feature of this particular example. PSA/DNA AUTHENTIC AUTO
