Photos used for cards

This is a great scroll through. I am very impressed with this aspect of collecting. I don't know if I could see a photo and quickly associate it with any card. So I impressed that people made some of the connections, especially tight crops or tilts.

M101-6 Holke

The back of the photo has his name and 'Giants'

I also posted this in the November pickups a few days ago. Apologies to those who may have already seen it there.

Obviously not a Pre-War card, but this image of Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron at Yankee Stadium during the 1957 World Series was used for the 1958 Topps card number 418 - "World Series Batting Foes"

The International News Photos stamp on the back didn't come out well in the scan, so I'm not showing it here, but it is the one used from 1949 - 1957, according to "A Portrait of Baseball Photography"

I do not own this photo (not sure if that's a requirement for this thread), but thought this was a good match.

Thought I would bring this one back to the front page. I found this 1936 Billy Herman photo shot in Catalina during spring training. I knew that I had come across this image before but could not narrow it down. I discovered today that the photo was used in two of the Wheaties series. It was first used in 1936 and then reversed and used once again the following year in the 1937 series.

Have many of these photos from the 1962 Salada set:

More "nerdiness"... Sorry I cannot seem to rotate the image

Always liked this image since it features a rare style Orioles jersey. I have seen a few other photos like this one that were used for the SSPC cards. I was wondering if anyone knows if these photos were sold by SSPC as well. The card is not mine.

....I saw this beautiful Burke 4 x 6 and thought " wow that's the picture that Wheaties used to create their 1934 Gold Medal Foods Premium of Odell Hale so I purchased it , as any nerd would do , and when it came I dug out my card and saw right away that the uniforms and location were not even close. On the bright side , it's a gorgeous bright clean Burke 4 x 6 of Odell Hale in a great pose.

Glad you like it in spite of the faulty memory If you have a keen eye, you can pick out a great many of the Goudey issues of the mid-1930's that feature Burke's images and pick up the corresponding photos relatively cheap.

A few more from the '59 Baseball Thrills subset.

this one isn't an exact match but it comes from a photo in this swing for sure:

Not sure what to make of this one but the background with some Seals has been cropped out of the original photo used to make the 49' Sommer & Kaufmann.
