Uncataloged Roadmaster Bicycle Photo Bob Feller?
Hello. I picked up this item on ebay this past month. When I bid, I thought it was a 1951 Roadmaster 8" x 10" Photo of Bob Feller, which is cataloged in the Standard Catalog of BB cards (pg 308, 2009 edition). When I received my package and went to confirm some details against the photo in the "Big Book," I noticed that my photo was different. First off, Bob Feller is wearing a different uniform. Second, he's riding a different model bicycle. Third, the photo background shows a different portion of the stadium. Lastly, and most important, my photo has writing on the back advertising the Roadmaster "Luxury Liner" model that Bob is riding, whereas the catalog version is advised to be blank back. The dimensions appear the same, as well as the facsimile autograph. I have attached an ad from 1941 showing the photo in the catalog for reference, although the ad is not precisely the same as the card in the Big Book (no auto for example). The catalog description states other player photos may be found, but it looks as if (possibly) other photos of the same player and from other years may be the case as well. Does anyone have a Roadmaster Photo of Bob Feller or other player (Pee Wee Reese is the only other catalogued photo) for comparison? Over how many years were the photos actually offered? I feel the 1951 date in the Big Book is incorrect. Thanks in advance.

1949-53?
Quick Google search found Roadmaster Luxury Liner was produced 1949-53. Can any of the uniform guys narrow it down?

according to Okkenen
if you're sure about the year for the bike, then Bob is wearing a 1949 uniform.

They are not uncataloged, I have seen them from time to time.
Listed as 1951 Roadmaster Photos in the SCD Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards. Feller NRMT $200 Reese NRMT $250 (Im looking at the 2008 book) Edited to say..sorry I didnt read your post first. I see you have a different uniform one, very cool!
