This card was created by the late Bob Lemke, Editor of the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards.
Fewer than 50 were made.


Here is what Bob said on his blog in 2010 when he created this card:
"
I chose Charley Pride as the subject, but there aren't a lot of pictures out there of Pride in his playing days.
The back was the really challenging part. Because Pride played for such low-level minor league teams in 1953, there were few official stats to report. I tried to channel what the Topps creators would have done in such a case, and the results are what they are.
I did have fun doing the cartoons. I scoured the backs of the 50-60 or so original 1954s that I have to find cartoons that could be converted to tell Pride's story. I'm pleased with the result.
