Here are my Cobb's
Here are some of mine: "I am going to ward off with God's help the "bow out" or final curtain as long as possible." Even the great Ty Cobb showed his mortality. Ty takes a young fan to task in this one, LOL (ironically, the fan and Cobb developed a pen pal relationship that led to the fan penning a book which included this letter) Some of the greatest athletes of the early 1900's including the Peach and a signed envelope |

Way back in 1992 a company called Megacards licensed a series of Francis Burke images and reprinted them in 16 x 20s numbered to 975. I bought the Cobb which I framed with the album page and this Johnson which I still have but ended up not using with my check. Here's a better shot of the Cobb photo. Same image used on the m101-4/5 card.

Ahhh, I thought it was Burke. His images were so damn incredible. I wish there were more of them out there in the public.
This book, which was done by David R. Phillips, does have a number of great images in it, and is probably the largest collection of his stuff out there: http://www.amazon.com/That-Ball-Game.../dp/B0010GE49G Phillips was in possession of Burke's negatives a few years back, which included a melange of subjects in addition to baseball. Last I heard, he was in the middle of selling Burke's old negatives off as an entire collection, but I have NO idea whether that actually happened. Graig

You're definitely right, Scott. I'm pretty sure the Johnson and Cobb images were part of that group. I also have ones of Matty, Wagner, and one of my favorites, a great shot of Matty chatting with Bresnahan, which I've enclosed below:
It's a friggin' winner, no matter how you slice it. Graig
