Here is my attempt. I am not the best at creating baseball cards so I have mangled that aspect. The first image is a straight up GIMP transformation and colorization by kolorize.cc with color tweaks. The second is that same image upscaled with deepnostalgia.ai, while the last is that same upscale but with the cap and the uniform from the raw GIMPing and colorization.
I agree with the sentiments on the value of the upscaling. The older, extremely blurry or grainy images really cry out for that attention. Whether the end result is of any merit, or changes the original image to an extent where it may as well be a cartoon is another debate. In most cases I prefer as little tampering as possible. (Having just cut and pasted a Cubs uniform onto this image). The clarity of the image is hard to dismiss in the upscaled images of good source images.
