Colorized team-issued B&W shot. Virtually every Topps image before 1957 is one of these, plus dozens thereafter. I believe the last ones date to 1978 (Greg Minton, Paul Molitor, Mike Paxton) and 1980 (Bill Paschall, Bert Roberge) but there may be more recent ones.
A Topps artist would hand-tint the print, then they'd photograph it several times and create a series of negatives like the one of Veintidos. This means there are probably multiple copies of this negative - unlike photos Topps took themselves.
