Very interesting thread. Clemente's vertical leap in the photo is astonishing. And Dan B., what a cool and serendipitous find! I don't collect original photos much at all but I did score this Benjamin Falk cabinet of Christy Mathewson which was shot around 1905 and which is the progenitor of numerous subsequent Matty cards such as the W600, M116 and 1915 CJ, all which changed out that natty suit for a baseball uniform. Falk, by the way, was the same photographer who shot Joe D.'s terrific Astoria Giants postcard.

Scott Forrest, who used to post a lot on this forum, but now has other interests other than cards, used to find pictures of ballplayers that were used to make cards. Here is a link to his site that has quite a few of these pictures.

I like the images that were the actual card art used by the card manufacturer rather than merely the same image as was used to make the card. Like the ones David posted above. I have a few of those exhibit art pieces: Harold Green and Peter Lawford, so far. Plus the Bohne piece on my site.

Here's my contribution.... a third Matty for this thread!
This is an original Type 1 Charles Conlon, with his stamp and hand-written observations on the reverse. Conlon writes, "First appearance of crow's feet under the eyes. Years on the pitching slab under burning sun beginning to tell." A famous image, it was later used to make Matty's 1940 PlayBall Card. Last edited by perezfan; 04-17-2010 at 03:57 PM. |
