Snapshots...Lets See Them!

[Lucas00]

This thread needs an update!

Here's a signed snap of red I picked up recently.
And I believe a rookie era snap of Bill Bruton.

Big fan of these items mainly because often times they`re unique. Here`s a couple featuring Lou Gehrig. One, with Lou Grove and Maranville seeming to wave from a ship and the second Lou taking B P during (I think) the 1931 Tour of Japan.

Well I had six snapshots of the 1919 world series game 1. From the outfield. My biggest mistake was getting rid of them.....

Sorry to hear.
In loo of your sold world series snaps, Here’s one of mine I got recently. Outfield snap of game 4 of the ‘44 all st louis world series. Stan had a great game that day going 3-4 with a long homer to right.

Here is my favorite from the past. Purchased from a major auction house in 2008 for $3100 including buyer premium. Sold at the National that same year for $5000. Wish I still had it. Probably $20K in today's market. It was PSA/DNA encapsulated and graded 9 for the autograph.

Great stuff fellas! Here's a one of my faves of The Schnozz at his old stomping grounds Crosley Field.

[dwr11]

I purchased a large collection of snapshots quite a few years ago from a long time photographer. Many of them were signed. Here is a sampling.

[David Atkatz]

Here's one.

Adam:

Don't mean to "rain on your parade" but that sure doesn't look like Spahn to me. Plus the glove appears to be a right hander's glove. The webbing is on the wrong side for a lefty

Any chance he was mis-identified?

Agreed, Adam. This photo is definitely not Spahnie....

Found these in my Dad's old 35mm slides. Early 1970s Oakland A's Dynasty playing in Arlington. Love the Reggie one. Enjoy.

[Hoy'sNoDummy]

one more. Dugout shot for you A's fans.

Johnny Vander Meer on 4/29/43 snapshot in Pittsburgh heading to Forbes Field to pitch.
Vandy and the Reds beat the Buccos and he got the "W" that night.
Vandy loved his smokes and was an avid Marlboro Red pack smoker throughout most of his life.

No-hit pitchers Don Nottebart, Ken Johnson and Ken Holtzman circa 1969.
This photo was likely taken within a few days of Holtzman's no-hitter on 8/19/69 @ Wrigley.
Between the 3 of them they had 4 career no-hitters...

Burt "Happy" Hooten and catcher Randy Hundley after Hooten's no-hitter on 4/16/72 @ Wrigley

Milt Pappas and catcher Randy Hundley after Pappas' near-perfect game on 9/2/72 @ Wrigley.
Pappas walked the final batter of the day and ultimately had to settle for a no-hitter.

Thanks for sharing.......you always amaze me

Red signing a ball for a fan during spring training, late 60s
Looks like maybe at the motel.

Wally Berger with the Giants in 1937/1938
Very forgotten player who was an above average ball player.

Through 2022, he was the only player before the 21st century and one of only five players to hit 20 or more home runs in their rookie year before July (1930). And wasn't done again until pujols did it in 2001, 71 years later. Wally hit 38 that season as a rookie.
His career was only a decade long (really only 9 years) And ruined by shoulder and hand injuries. His stat sheet is quite impressive and makes you wonder if he could've been a 500/3000 hitter if he got to play for another 10 years. One of the original what ifs in the game.

[Lucas00]

Picked up these two Kodachrome snaps of Joe Garagiola.
I personally haven't ever seen a color snap from the 40s of a major leaguer. And hardly any from the 50s. So I was absolutely thrilled to get these!!

[Chris Counts]

Lucas, who's the player in the second photo? He doesn't look like Joe.

Color snapshots seem to become far more common in the early 1960s. I only have two that pre-date 1960: One from the late '40s of some AAGPL players, and one of Frank Leja with the New Orleans Pelicans from 1958 ...

Color film and developing was significantly more expensive than B&W pre-1970s, analogous to long-distance phone calls, enough so to be a consideration in how they both were were used. Anyone from that time can remember well a household member yelling in the background, "Hey, it's long distance!" when one of those calls got too long-winded, meaning more than about five or ten minutes. I grew up comfortably middle class in the 1950s and 60s, but money was tight, you didn't spend any frivolously on anything.

[Chris Counts]

Here's my latest snapshot, which shows two players from the 1947 Baltimore Elite Giants, Felix Guilbe and Luis Villodas ...

[gonefishin]

Here are a few you might enjoy seeing - Jess Hill ended up being the athletic director at USC from 57-72. An autographed photo from his playing days is pretty rare I think.

Chris,

I agree it doesn't look like Joe, though I just went through the entire '49 and even the '48 roster and cannot find a closer match.
I'll say, pose, posture and lighting are often deceiving.

Also, Love the aagpbl snap!

[Lucas00]

That is a great campy. Lately I've seen quite a few Roy collectors sprout up. He is definitely gaining the steam he deserves.

[Chris Counts]

I recall when cards of Campy and Jackie were roughly the same price, and it was about half of what you paid for a Mays or Aaron. It seems like the values of Campy's cards have a lot of room to grow. He has a great story that goes way beyond his outstanding career, very much like Jackie. I feel the same way about Doby and Minoso, who were no less the players.

Thanks Scott!
Glad to add a nice one of an Elusive 300 game winner!

[TUM301]

Love the snapshots and because of that, great more items to pursue, have ventured into Magic Lantern glass slides. The clarity is unreal in these bad boys. Enclosed recent pick up of a 1915 piece depicting White Sox newest manager, Pants Roland. Keep them coming.....

Here is a recent snapper pickup of July 20,1970 no-hit pitcher Bill Singer aka "Sing Sing", likely originating from Camera Day in 1968 at Dodger Stadium.
Many thanks to net54 board member Gary Scamehorn for allowing me to add this bad boy to my advanced collection of no-hit pitcher snapshots.

That's a beaut.
My #1 wanted snap (aside from ones of red)
Is one of Christy. It seems of the early 20th century legends, snaps of Christy are extremely rare. I haven't seen one of him on a field. Do you have him checked off of your no hitter snap list?

Hi Lucas,
No Matty snaps in my collection...

[joejo20]

I have this one which appears to be Red Thomas who played one year in Chicago during 1921

Double posting today,

Huge thanks again to Gary, As he allowed me to acquire a few Really amazing snaps of Teddy and Feller. I think Gary should catalogue his collection online. Would be spectacular to see all of his snaps!

Ted is Returning to the dugout with his Rbi after a Homer. That handshake stalky run is so recognizable!
And Bob is winding up for a warm up clinic!

Got a few more I will share Next time 😊.
