I have no idea, must be a set from the 60's or early 70's. I know the Pee Wee Reese card in the 1953 Bowman color is a colorized B&W. I also know there are some true color photo action shots in the 1971 Topps, so it can't be later than that. Anyone know the answer?

    Action as in, taking place during a game; you can't tell for sure but the 1958 Cepeda rookie rather looks like he's actually expecting a throw. The '57 Mantle card isn't strictly a "posed" shot, it's a BP swing - tho not actual game play I guess.

    The '53 Bowman Campy pictures him at bat, not quite sure if it is a pose or not but he looks like he is ready...

    this was the first time Topps used photographs from actual games. I don't think anyone else used actual game shots (in color) prior to this but hopefully someone else can confirm.
