The painted card that stands out in the early 60's era is the 1962 rookie card of Gaylord Perry.<br /><br />Your points of making art or no color picture available make sense to me. Whatever the reason, I'm glad there weren't very many of them.

(I don't have many cards prior to 1965.)<br /><br />The Topps airbrushing of the 1970s probably qualifies as painting, (some of those were REALLY bad), but those were done for a reason (however questionable their talents were).<br /><br />These early-60 paint jobs seem to be done in an attempt to "make art". (Or maybe they only had black-and-white photos of some players?)Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168231666068469441.post-32241933909527824372019-02-15T21:29:04.531-05:002019-02-15T21:29:04.531-05:00Remember him as one of the many cards I had back t...Remember him as one of the many cards I had back then, but never noticed his playing time. Never liked those painted cards. I don't remember any painted cards in the 67 set, but I know you are an authority on this set and you may prove me wrong.
