Good stuff! I have been outbid twice on single-signed Speaker balls from his playing days. I actually I had a shot at one time...sadly...it wasn't to be.

" What is certain is that Speaker was a breathtaking outfielder, maybe the first such creature in the American League. He played center field the way he lived — aggressively, dangerously, boldly. Speaker would play so absurdly shallow that baseball writers in the day would sometimes call him a fifth infielder. "
From The Athletic's profile on their #18 player of all time, Tris Speaker.

Great thread! My next purchase I am looking to purchase the Speaker T206, CJ, or candy card.
The Speaker autograph was bought during the last recession. The Sporting News supplement reard bought here from a board member.

R&J Hill 1934. I believe this image is from an earlier tour of Japan. The same image appears on a Cuban issue which escapes my memory at this moment. There is something noteworthy about the lines on the field that was pointed out to me years ago. Memory again...I think it had to do with the venue being a soccer field.

Honestly, not really. The eye sockets look close but he looks a bit "saggy & slight"...Speaker was pretty broad, actually...but that doesn't mean it ain't him!...maybe he's slouching? I just wouldn't wager it.
I want to take a picture of the photo over my fireplace and post it. Seems Joe Wood & Tris Speaker did the trick of running while the panoramic was being taken and they appear twice in the line!
I love that! That must be a heck of an '09 pano you got there! Can you share the whole thing, perhaps? Thank you!

I should (and will) share the full pano - it honestly probably deserves a separate thread, which I will do tomorrow, so I can do it properly.
In the meantime, here is the Red Sox team portion of the panorama - I have it pinpointed to a mid-June 1909 series in which Speaker played in all of the games, so he should be in one of these shots. Which one is he??

One more vote for the player on the left to be Speaker. My eye was drawn right to him.
Some of my Tris Speaker cards etc.
Third from left in Red Sox team photo. Lousy jpeg.
Other photo from Hunt Auctions. Not much info other than with BoSox against New York at the Polo Grounds in the 1910s.

Yep. when you look at all of 'em, the far left HAS to be him. None of the others are of any likeness.

I agree. They usually look more like this condition-wise. Still a great card even with the creasing (Seems like a fair amount of E106 cards I have seen over the years have a very prominent vertical crease...anyone know whyinthefadoodle this is?)
