Since I collect baseball CdVs, I thought it would be nice to see some early images. Here's one of mine.

I don't think we'll see too many baseball dags- other than the three known of Alexander Cartwright, there aren't any.

You never know, Barry. I've always been a dreamer.

Richard's team ambrotype is one of the best early photos in the hobby!

Very nice images everybody.

Those bats in Richard's ambro look more like 2x4's! Beautiful!

I hadn't seen that CDV before Jimmy. Interesting. Still has a touch of the civil war in it.

Thanks for the posts. I love to see early images.
I agree with Barry. The ambrotype is about as good as it gets.

Hope it is ok to include a Magic Lantern Slide? Wish I could figure something out on this image.... I have searched & searched, but this has been the toughest for me yet. I do not think the who, what, where will ever be determined on this picture. I am fairly certain that the letters on the uniforms are "WAC", just not sure what order the letters are suppose to be in? Anyway, it's a really nice image.... Even better in person, but it is really difficult to take a nice clear picture of. Does anyone know of another Baseball Lantern Slide from this time period??????

The second picture is the opposing side of the Lantern Slide (imaged is reversed)
