Sun Pictures W626

[peterose4hof]

I picked up 3 unopened packs (envelopes) of these on eBay last night. Thought it would be fun to open them up.

The set includes 144 subjects, 10 of which are baseball players (listed below).

George Earnshaw
Wesley Ferrell
Lefty Grove
Leo Hartnett
Tony Lazzeri
Herb Pennock
Babe Ruth
Al Simmons
Dazzy Vance
Hack Wilson

If you have any of these I'd love to see them.

Also, does anyone know where I might find a complete checklist?

Here are some negatives I used to own..and an associated envelope...

I have a couple Dazzy Vance in rough shape and a beat up envelope. Also have a print (probably a fake, restrike or whatever you want to call it).

Thanks for sharing guys!

Justin, I like the Dazzy where the envelope is cut away just enough so you can tell what's inside. That's cool.

I've read that many of them had the image/player name stamped on the outside of the envelope. I wonder why some did and some didn't?

I noticed our envelopes are different. Mine has "Sun Pictures" at the bottom and no mention of Leader Novelty. I wonder if the name stamps were just added during certain envelope printings? I haven't seen many of these so I have no idea.

Here are links to a couple of older threads from the Non-Sports board that are very informative.

Here's the Ruth.

[peterose4hof]

Very Cool! Never seen the Ruth before.

Is that yours Gary?

[glchen]

Hi Chris, yep, that Ruth is mine. I won it at a Huggins and Scott Auction a couple of years ago.

It's Gorgeous, congrats!
