"Many attempts are made at colorization but none are of higher quality than these images available here by ManCave Pictures. The hours required and skill involved to achieve this level of quality and detail are very high. They take these faded, scratched, dusty pieces of history and breathe life into them, rescuing lost images for all to experience in a new, re-imagined way.  Their ability to extract photographic information out of seemingly hopeless areas of the images, is really quite astonishing. Though computer based processes and many self-developed techniques are used, don’t be fooled into thinking it is easy. There are no tricky short-cuts, simple filters, or single clicks of the mouse used here. The process all begins with days of obsessive research for accuracy in color from historical source references, followed by intensively detailed, archival art restoration & repair of the original black & white image, and then they meticulously apply layer upon layer of digital color to bring them to life. They can complete an undamaged, basic portrait with minimal restoration required, in 8-10 hours. However, large, complex, team or stadium photos that are in bad shape, can take upwards of 150+ hours of intensive work to restore and create these truly special images. Skill, determination, patience, and extreme attention to detail is what it takes to bring these vintage sports treasures such as these to life."

Player Biography
In 1947, Jackie Robinson broke the major leagues’ unwritten color barrier, becoming the first black player in the 20th century. Teammate and Hall of Famer Duke Snider called him “the greatest competitor I’ve ever seen.” Robinson was selected by Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey not only for the skills he brought to the field, but also those he possessed off it. A man of great character, Robinson lettered in four sports at UCLA before becoming an officer in the U.S. Army during World War II. In 1997, Robinson was honored posthumously when Major League Baseball universally retired his uniform number, 42.
