Picked up the Boston Red Sox cabinets though, these so rarely come up and are beautiful cards/photos.

How'd you do?

Jeff - nice grab! I was interested, especially with the Speaker in that lot. Now you just need to add this one of Hooper to (help?) complete the "set":

I didn't win this one of Dizzy Dean (c1931), but it REALLY caught my eye! Congrats to the winner!

Cool photo of Dizzy, but it sure looks like he is wearing makeup.

I went after that Dean but it jumped way past my bids quickly. I did win this Dean for what I thought was a very reasonable price given the grade..

I have a file copy of that Dean and went after the original yesterday. Came up short. I was in a rush after just signing up to bid as I was unaware of Hunts auction. I'm halfway through a painting of that image--not sure I'll ever finish it.
On subject of makeup, It was quite common for folks to wear some eye &/or cheek enhancements for studio portraits in 1950 and earlier. Dean does have some liner applied to his lower eyelid and some powder on his face for glare reduction.

I was inspired and stayed up realllllyyy late (early) the last 2 nights to finish the Dizzy Dean postcard I started awhile back

[Phil68]

This is finalized postcard on the easel in the case. I finished the Koufax and Petty over the summer. The wax really makes it pop!

..by any chance , when you were just a little kid practicing your 'drawerings' , did you do this one ? It would have been around 1931 or so ....anyway , congrats , you sure fooled the guys at Beckett......ps they kept my $18 grading fee , I guess to cover the costs of a week of trying to look it up ...

[Phil68]

Nope. I did not do that one. I don't understand the congratulations regarding Beckett? Was that meant for me?
