Default 1965-66 Team Issue? Koufax Drysdale +4

$25 opener. $6 shipping. Any bidding increment allowed, payment by Zelle, paypal, check or Money order. Auction ends Monday January 23, 2023 at 10:00 p.m Eastern– timestamp of :01 is too late.

8x10"-clean blank backs-slightly brighter than what scans show. Obviously the headliners here are Koufax and Drysdale. I just found these going through old storage, but am not at all certain what they are. A note with them says I won them on ebay in 2004 described as “1960's Dodgers photos”. These look to be from 1965 or 1966 due to the inclusion of Derrell Griffith and Lou Johnson, who only played together there those two seasons.

Koufax, Drysdale, Parker and Johnson are all at least Excellent, IMO (not a spider crease on right side of Johnson--that's on the photo image itself). I am no photo grader, and because these are so extremely glossy you can probably hold them up to the light at some angle or another and find a scratch or bend, but I can say the two HOFers are very very clean. Griffith is more VG+ due to upper right corner, and Willie Davis is poor due to a long top to bottom crease near the middle that looks as if the photo was printed on flawed paper rather than mishandled.
NOTE: Davis is likely from another year or printing due to the use of a different, serif font. Feel free to tell us more particularly what these are.
