Great collection Chris.

Great Cobb and here is another Cobb. Lucked out as I didnt know this type 1 image was used on anything.

I don't know who this kid is, but I know the feeling. One of my favorite photos I have and it ain't worry much. I'm glad baseball is back and I don't have to practice piano anymore.

I don't particularly collect photos, but occasionally find photos related to the areas I collect.

- 1934 US Tour of Japan Connie Mack Auto - Over the years I've acquired signed photos from the 1931 and 1934 teams. Never had the biggest names (Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Berg etc) but most of the others including HOFs. Here is the Mack

- 1947 NY Cubans photo - It's in rough shape but features the Negro League Champion NY Cubans. I think that Orestes Minnie Minoso who is featured has a good chance at the HOF. Luis Tiant Sr was also on the team and is probably worthy of serious consideration.

- 1946 Tampico Alijadores Team Photo - Most significant is HOF Raymond Brown in the back row

- Alejandro Oms passport - Has a nice autograph along with the photo

First off, love those photos, Jay!

I did some research (read the notation on the back and searched google. ha!) only to discover this is American Bob Seagren, 1968 Olympic pole vault champion. Whodda thunk it?

Cool photo!

Am I crazy, or does LeBron look like David Robinson in this photo?

1946/47 (it is described in different places as from either year) Cleveland Buckeyes photo.

I believe this is likely a Type I, and would welcome any perspectives on it. (My reasoning is that the image quality is very sharp, so I don't believe it could be a Type III, and the stamp on the back with just a two digit zip code indicates it was not a recent print, and I don't assume that they were reprinting Negro League photos much in the 50's and 60's though I could be wrong).
