For those of you that haven't seen my thread dedicated to this topic...

I'm working on producing an ALL NEW series of 4x5 or 5x7 prints from the original glass plate negatives used for the 1972 TCMA "The 1930's" set. These will be absolutely GORGEOUS and I'll likely be able to produce 200+ different images with all the proper licensing. I'd like to make them in a Limited Edition of 200 - 250 at a reasonable price.

As of now the plan would be to release these monthly in series four or five prints per pack. There are also several glass plate negatives that were NOT used for the original set and these will make fantastic additions as they have never before been used.

To whet your appetite, here's one of the original glass plate negatives and some simple positives I created using my iphone. When these are scanned properly we'll be able to do some great things with this project and who knows where we'll go from there:

Jack Tising
Pittsburgh Pirates
Pitched in 10 games in 1936, went 1-3 with one complete game. Also had 3 hits in 11 plate appearances.

So, does your current licensing preclude you from making cards, or is there just no money in it?

It's tricky but we (Photo File) are licensed to produce photo prints, which is what our business has revolved around since the lat 1980's. We don't have licensing to produce cards but I think the proposed 4x5 format comes close to card size and will lend itself perfectly to this project. Image quality will be stunning and it will be a real window into the history of the game.

Here are several more for your enjoyment :) . Image quality is not going to be perfect with these quick snapshots but you can see the potential. Once these are scanned properly the images will be stunningly crisp:
