Everything from the actual shot used for the player's card to "same session" shots that were not selected for the final design to player/team combinations that never appeared on a card. Truly a visual cornucopia!

I've recently begun saving the images for future reference (can't afford to buy all the originals), but I'm sure that many passed through previous auctions from further back than eBay's completed listings show. Wish I had been doing this all along

I also think the transparencies/negatives are pretty cool to have and look at. I've got a handful of these of Dick Groat from the Topps Vault. I also bought a piece of original art from the Topps Vault used in a 2010 Topps National Chicle card of Ryan Zimmerman.
