Picked up a really cool pre rookie Yaz photo that just came into today’s mail.

My first ever PSA submission was a success! Sure condition isn’t the best but I got this from a local thrift shop for $15!

I like how an artist transformed Christy Mathewson's suit into a baseball jersey.

I don't normally go for wire photos but this was a very special case: Larry Doby signed by Bill Veeck of Cleveland and integrating the American League. Super happy to add another MLB pioneer in their Negro Leagues uniform to my collection. img094.jpg

Not really a wire photo guy either, but just picked up this shot of Jackie's last MLB hit. 10th inning walk-off hit Game 6 1956 World Series.

I just added these two in the same week (crazy luck what can I say)
Reds 1949 Bowman and 1955 Robert Gould Card images alongside my cards of the two.

The Bowman is my first mainstream type 1 card image.

Bowman image by famous cardinals photographer George Dorrill and the Gould image of course done by the legend himself, Jacobellis.
This brings me to 4 type 1 original card images of Red.

When you hinted about what you were picking up I new it had to be Red, no idea it'd be such a big one. Congrats Lucas! You're always digging up gold!

This is most certainly a type 1. That AP stamp and the caption remnants. I would say it definitely is.

if you held it in your hand you'd be able to see that it is a photo of a photo. On the front borders it appears like their is white tape. but if you run your finger over them it has no texture. additionally, the photo is kind of hazy, not extremely clear. If it is a type 1, the camera was out of focus.

That is strange, not something I've seen before.

here is what I'm talking about for the tape. I've seen this taping before on other photos. But this is not tape on my photo.

Here are a couple cool period wirephotos. First from Killer being signed to his bonus baby contract. Then Larry Doby in his Newark Eagles uniform from when he signed with Cleveland and integrated the American League. It's hard enough getting any of the earlier integraters in their negro league uniforms in an original print. This one is a very happy medium.img096.jpgimg094.jpg

That Doby is awesome! I've been looking for a Doby from his time in the Negro Leagues and his time in the military for a long time with no success. I would very happily take a wire photo at this point for sure.

My hero as a young Nats fan. I seem to recall another teenager picked up by the Nationals playing semi-pro in Idaho about 50 years earlier...

A player that's also part of my PC since we are both WaJos and he's the GOAT.

What a great pic!

I picked up a 1975 Cincinnati Reds original 3x5 photo set. Many of these were used for the SSPC set.

Big thanks to Jim Chapman for an excellent deal on this photo of Babe and Lou.

Just realized I posted the Doby twice. For penance here is a great action shot of Miñoso safe at home on a wild pitch.img070.jpg
