Here are a couple cool period wirephotos. First from Killer being signed to his bonus baby contract. Then Larry Doby in his Newark Eagles uniform from when he signed with Cleveland and integrated the American League. It's hard enough getting any of the earlier integraters in their negro league uniforms in an original print. This one is a very happy medium.img096.jpgimg094.jpg

That Doby is awesome! I've been looking for a Doby from his time in the Negro Leagues and his time in the military for a long time with no success. I would very happily take a wire photo at this point for sure.

My hero as a young Nats fan. I seem to recall another teenager picked up by the Nationals playing semi-pro in Idaho about 50 years earlier...

I picked up a 1975 Cincinnati Reds original 3x5 photo set. Many of these were used for the SSPC set.

Awesome pickup... it was me that you outbid. If you want to sell Griffey, Morgan, Geronimo or Concepcion, please PM or let me know. Would love to own just one of these. Nice score!

Thank you. I'd like to keep the set together for now. I'll let you know if I decide to break it up.

If anybody won the Cardinals lot and would sell me the Red, please reach out.

Great buy btw!

Good stuff! These were likely originally purchased through Baseball Nostalgia in Cooperstown close to when the SSPC cards were released.
