This was the Profiles In History Glass Plate Negatives lot from their last auction. Lots of nice stuff including 17 Babe Ruths, 4 Walter Johnson, Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner, 3 Christy Mathewsons (one signing a baseball!!!), Frank Baker, etc.

You can certainly inquire about pricing. Many are known to be Bain photos.

Awesome stuff!

That Gehrig photo really shocks me.

Not only is it incredible, but in a time where weight training was incomprehensible and most of the players lifted nothing but beers and lit cigars (talking to svelte Ruth there, lol) that guy is a bear compared to everyone.

Mr. Wagner wishes to say hello. He asks that you take a gander at his popeye like arms and reconsider your position.

This glass plate negative is part of the collection and will NOT be available for sale.

Lol.

I look at those photos and think how much my high school baseball coach would have yelled if I choked that high on a bat at the plate. Times sure do change.

If I put up stats like Wagner I guess I might have got a pass.

GEEZ - that is just awesome!

Can I ask what the first name is at the top of the photo? Is it KASEL or KADEL or something else? I only ask as my last name is KASEL, so it would be cool to know that maybe some relative at some point in history had a hand in it.

Thanks!

These four put me at the half way point in completing my T206 Cardinals & Browns Team sets!

Glad to finally replace this item after trading away this color variation about 5 years ago. One of the tougher B18s to find in nice condition.
