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.

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.

Thank you so much for sharing. Those are so great. I will have to start
checking my photographs to see if any match cards.

I recently picked up these photos, however, the cards are not mine.

Vander Meer
 

Just picked up this original photo of Johnny Vander Meer which was used for his 1950 and 1951 Bowman card. The cards are not my own.

Mike, I've got to say, I continue to be impressed by your keen eye and/or memory in connecting the dots to make all the matches you have. Keep up the good work!

Ah-HA! That's it! I stand corrected. Nice find, Scott. :cool:

Great thread
 

Here's another one.

I never noticed that these two cards are so similar. I bet they came from the same photo.

Beautiful photos!

I own this 1915 type 1 photo: http://www.baberuthautographs.com/ph...-sox-team.html

Must have been taken within minutes of another photo that produced this image:
http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/...n/2012/14.html

What do people think the general photos should be worth value wise? Obviously the photos came before the cards and are much more rare.....

Keep me coming....any Mantle's out there? Great thread.

T222 Fatima Leach
 

Just noticed I have this one. It's interesting (to me) that they created the Fatima Leach photographic image directly from the negative, but modified the background. I once spent an afternoon in a friend's darkroom, watching him manipulate one of my black and white negatives to enhance various aspects, but never change the actual background like this.

I am bumping this nice thread because I had recently bought a photo of Cochrane that I thought was great early image. Couldn't get much earlier without going into his PCL days. I recently found that the image was used on a couple of cards. Both are not off the main path, but still cards using the image.

Derek, nice pickup on the Klein photo. But, what I really, really like is your collection of Exhibit PCs - great eye candy!
Best,
Val

I own the shot of Sullivan in street clothes. For years I thought it was the source for the T206, until I saw the other photo. I'm guessing the two were taken at the same photo shoot.

Eddie Lake of the Tigers. Photo by Keunzel of the Detroit News.

Did William Keunzel's photos ever end up on many cards? I'd love to know the answer to that!

Postcard from Ten Million when playing for Victoria in Vancouver, to his mother in Seattle. Note his signature.

Not the same photo, but the same photo session.

Odd one from a somewhat silly Target set that was supposed to be of everyone who had ever worn a Dodger uniform. What's kind of funny is that he's wearing a Browns uniform in the photo.

Type I photo of Vander Meer used for his 1950 and 1951 Bowman cards. Thanks Mike!

Very Nice Scott!

Thanks Chris!

I posted this on the card side, but then saw this post get put back on top, so I thought I'd ask here if anyone's ever seen the original photograph used to create Chief Bender's T-3 card.

It's been awhile since this post had any updates. I just picked up this 1934 Joe Medwick photo that was used for his Dixie Lid Premium.

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"

...photo is 5 x 7 ; used for Bolton's 1933 Worch Cigar issue.....I think finding stuff like this is really neat , but then again , I'm a nerd.

...

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

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.

...I don't yet own a 1933 Worch Cigar Premium photo/card of Marv Owen ; I've never seen one and I don't even know if they exist . But I'm pretty sure that this is the photo they would have used to make it , if they had ever made one.
..does anyone know if there indeed is a Worch Marvin Owen ? Thanks , optimistically yours , MikeGarcia

That is very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Man, what a terrific thread!
Turned out I was acquiring stolen goods when I won this studio portrait of Christy Mathewson by the photographer Benjamin Falk circa 1904. The image appears on numerous Matty cards such as 1915 Cracker Jack and M116 Sporting Life. The photo now resides at the Hall of Fame. Special shout out to Bill and Doug. Thanks guys!
Haven't taken receipt yet of the Carl Horner cabinet of Joe Wood which I won from Christie's but it's paid for so I guess it's mine. Am trusting that its provenance is on the up-an-up. It begat a coveted Sporting Life card and an awesome Kreindler painting.

Matty by Paul Thompson
 

Love this thread. Let's see more please! David.. nice Wood. Here is one in my collection I am thankful to own.

This is a great thread that I haven't looked at for a long time.

David, shouldn't Smokey Joe have arrived by now? I know Canada but cmon already.

Here's my contribution...

Amazing clarity on that one, Ben.

Here's an abstract version of Matty, to match your incredible photo... as painted by Jennifer Ettinger.

Leon, You Punk!
 

Sheesh Leon, I FINALLY get released after 9 months in the hospital, and my first day back on Net54 you post a photo of my main man Lou Gehrig? Cool fricking photo, man.

And I actually own the 1936 Joe DiMaggio photo (a George Burke 1936 postcard)!

Hey Mark
So glad you are out now. I was going to come see you again very soon. WE need to go to lunch soon and catch up. BTW this thread, and the first post, was started around 6 yrs ago. It's been many years since I owned that Gehrig photo....

This is the original art for the Exhibit card:

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...%20Art%201.jpg

Oops! No idea why the 2011 post pulled up as the current one for me. But here are some not-so-great photos of the DiMaggio I have. Wish it was Gehrig, but it is a pretty incredible Yankees item regardless.

Yes, Leon, i *definitely* want to get back together soon. I will likely be living temporarily in a Rockwall location in about a week.

For everyone else, I will soon post a story about the incredible and horrible 2017 I have had. Right now, I am finally "free" of hospitals, but holy cow, the final (#26) chemo treatment seemed great (not one single issue during the treatment or 7 days after), but then it suddenly crushed me. Currently, I am in so much pain I am more than ready if God decides to bring me to heaven anytime!


Also, there were two different 1936 DiMaggio Rookie Cards, so here is the "Pastel" rookie as well...
