Snapshots...Lets See Them!

I recently picked up these 1972 All Star Game snapshots. They include Murtaugh, Oliver, Clemente, Stargell and few HOFers.

Big fan of these!! Saw them posted but knew somebody else would enjoy them even more than me.

Here is one of my recent buys, Luis Aparicio in 1966 or 1967. Notice the cartoon bird logo, it was brand new at the time!

Great photo and autograph Lucas. You certainly have managed to put together an impressive collection of snapshots.

Thank you Mike! They are really one of the most fun things I've ever collected. I'm glad more people don't know or care about them.

It's like finding a new unreleased card with every photo.

That's my buddy, the late Ted Patterson, with Luis. Ted was a long-time and well-known Baltimore media personality who amassed an incredible collection, including many thousands of autographs acquired personally in the course of his work. LOTG auctioned Ted's collection a few years ago after he passed away, and I assume this photo came from there. Looks like it was taken at an all-star game.

Wow that's incredible info..

The back actually gives a name, though it's not Ted. It's Keith Rawlinson of Baltimore. Along with an address and phone number. Maybe a friend or relative?

I do agree it looks like an all star game. However Luis didn't make an all star team in '66 or '67 ('66 was the first year of the cartoon bird) so that is strange. Maybe something to do with the world series is my only idea.

That's Ted, without a doubt. Perhaps Rawlinson took the picture. The name doesn't mean anything to me, maybe another media guy who had that kind of access and could get it signed, or maybe Ted got it signed for him.

I concur; that’s definitely Ted. I picked up a few items from his collection over the years.

That's definitely Memorial Stadium & while their sole ASG was in '58, I suspect this was taken at an Old Timer's Game (most likely 1986).
