Posted By: <b>Kevin Cummings</b><p>The work is really amazing. <BR><BR>He has a few 19th century players (John Dreker take note - there <b><u>is</u></b> a portrait of your hero, Larry Corcoran!), some of which appear to be the same poses that are on Old Judge cards.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Around 1989 or 1990 they did a colorized version of a lot of the famous Conlon photos that are absolutely remarkable. The only ones I still have are the Lajoie picture used for his t3 and a fantasy piece where Nolan Ryan was added into a picture with Walter Johnson.<BR><BR>Jay
