Original negatives

[h2oya311]

I just scanned my recent Burke/Brace negative pick-ups. I love the clarity of the photos!!

Here are a few scans of HOFers while they were minor leaguers...Rizzuto, B. Williams, Reese (x2), and Brock (35mm):

GREAT shots, Derek. I fell in love with the Rizzuto the moment I saw it.

Thanks guys...they fit nicely wih my collection, so figured I "had to have them". Wasn't sure what I was getting into w/ negatives, but they were too cool to pass up.

Derek, very nice! I must admit to being a bit envious, as those are right in two of my current keenest areas of interest: George Burke and nice minor league images. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, can you tell me what sizes these are and if there is any coding around the margins (I can see Rizzuto's 4032 AA3, and the 1st Reese looks like 3923 AA4, but want to be sure before recording them in my notes and see if there is anything not visible in the scans).

Thanks for the kind words...I'll let you know if they ever become available. From what I can tell, (1) the Brock is a 35mm (Brace) negative and does not have any markings and is about 1"x1", (2) the Billy Williams (Burke) photo negative has no markings, (3) both Reese (Burke) photo negatives have 3923-AA4 at top, and (4) the Rizzuto (Burke) negative has 4032-AA3 on it. All of the Burke negatives are around 4"x5".

I hope this helps. Thanks again for all the insight on this post.

Derek,
Thank you for the info. One minor correction though, the Billy Williams photo would have to have been taken by George Brace, not Burke, as Burke died about 9 years before that photo was taken in 1960. Not trying to take anything away from it though, as it is a wonderful image either way.

Here are some Lou negatives that I have.
Scanned them tonight using my new Epson v500. Unfortunately the negative scanner couldn't do the larger negatives in one shot. I wound up scanning each negative in 2 vertical sections and then used Photoshop to put the together. That is why the coloration and alignment aren't perfect. I figured it's enough to get the general idea of what they look like.
I also scanned the envelope they came in.

Wow Mark, you did a good job. That is why I love negatives. When you scan them in it looks like the image could have been taken yesterday.
