Foxx would technically be a type 3 as the original negative was not used to produce those. Chris posted the type 1 of that photo in the pickup thread, notice the difference of image clarity.

Still a great card/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.Attachment 618907Attachment 618908

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.

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

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.

Just recieved and scanned this one.Attachment 619029

Just realized I posted the Doby twice. For penance here is a great action shot of Miñoso safe at home on a wild pitch.Attachment 619247

What a great pic!

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

Awesome pickup... it was me that you outbid. If you want to sell Griffey, Morgan, Geronimo or Concepcion, please PM or let me know. Would love to own just one of these. Nice score!

If anybody won the Cardinals lot and would sell me the Red, please reach out.

Great buy btw!

Thank you. I'd like to keep the set together for now. I'll let you know if I decide to break it up.

Yah, keep it together. You'd eventually regret it if you pieced it out. Knee-jerk reaction... I was still in the "denial phase" of being out-sniped. :eek:

I picked up these original snapshots from the same seller of the Reds photos above. The Mays, Seaver, Berra, and both Mantles shots appear in the 1976 SSPC card set. The action shots of DiMaggio and Mantle were taken at an old timers game.

Good stuff! These were likely originally purchased through Baseball Nostalgia in Cooperstown close to when the SSPC cards were released.

These are nothing less than breath-taking. When I working with early videotape in the late 1970s, there was a generation of movies we called "red movies" because whatever film stock they had been made from had lost of good deal of the colors other than red presumably due to some kind of chemicals that didn't age well. These photos, as well as the Reds photo set, exhibit the same look to them, and I wonder if it's the result of use of the same kind of chemicals used in the negatives or developing fluid, etc. I assume there are experts in this stuff, and I haven't done any Googling on it, but I did find the similarity interesting.

My most recent pick up. My favorite aspect of the picture is the press photographers visible in the background, which makes me wonder if other views of this play are still around.

Can anyone assist me in dating this Gary Carter snapshot photo? I was curious to know if this photo can be lined to his rookie year of 1975. When did the Expos stop using all blue batting helmets? Thank you.
