Satchel Paige 1949 Bowman

Satchel Paige 1949 Bowman 384ced — a postwar gum card catching the great barnstormer at last in a major-league uniform, decades after the Negro Leagues had already made him myth. The Bowman tinting lends his portrait a quiet dignity, as if the cardboard itself knew it was late to the party.
