1953 Bowman Color Pee Wee Reese #33 Graded PSA 4.5 (Iconic In-Action Card!). This card is one of the most popular cards from the 1950s, as this in-action image depicts Pee Wee Reese leaping in mid-air to avoid a runner and desperately trying to break up the double play. Years ago, hobbyists used to refer to this card as a reverse negative since it appears as if the runner is diving headfirst, running from third to second base. The runner could have been simply barreling into second, with the runner merely appearing to be headed in the wrong direction. Whatever the case may be, Reese and Jackie Robinson would "turn two" often as teammates in Brooklyn. This image was taken in spring training and if you take a close look, you will notice that no other players or spectators can be seen in the background. This card measures approximately 2½" by 3¾". The biggest condition obstacles for this card appear to be poor centering and focus.
Condition: VG-EX+
