Honus Wagner Photo Date? Help...

Pittsburgh starting using the uniform with the Letter "P" in 1915, and Wagner retired in 1917, so there's your window. It's a very famous image of him, and I have seen it many times. |

That would make him at least in his sixties, if not close to seventy. Does he really look that old in the picture? He doesn't look that old to me. But if you know for sure, then I am wrong. |

I think Barry is right about the time frame, around 1916ish. A great aspect of the photo is Honus' belt. The buckle is off-center to the left. As a righty, he would have normally done his sliding on his rear or right side. Players would position their belt buckle so it was less likely to be between the belly and the ground... Modern buckles aren't as big, and players don't position the buckles to the side as much or as often. |

in the game he just played, classic photo. Just think, now players would want $50,000 to take a picture like that. Thats why i never collect new stuff because its all about money to Topps and the players. |

For a pretty good reference to the history on uniforms over the years, go to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's website. You can do a search for many teams. |

I had bought this postcard on eBay for about $12, and the image strikingly looks like Honus. While not exact, one must agree with the similarities. |

I got this Wagner photo a couple years back. It's a vintage print. Has anyone seen this one before? Any idea where it is was taken and when? |
