Wow! The gate number and all, so very cool!

Here are a few I believe (1927?) Cardinal Snaps. Unfortunately Im not sure of any player IDs for certain. Love the World Champion Sweater!

1920’s snapshot of Walter Johnson from Clearwater Florida during Spring Training. This also came with a very cool LOA from his family.

Lucas, could all three of your late '20s snapshots of Cardinals be the same player? I took a quick look at the team's roster from 1926-27, and Taylor Douthit jumped out at me as a possible match.

Here's Johnny Wright, who the Dodgers signed shortly after signing Jackie Robinson, playing for the Montreal Royals in 1946. Also displayed here is a wonderful snapshot of some anonymous WWII team. So far, I've found a couple minor leaguers whose names match the ones listed on the back.

This is the exact same thought another person had, they told me it's the same guy in all 3 except they think it's Billy Southworth. Both guys look similar.

Though I have to note the guy in the Jacket does have a different pattern on his socks and pants.
A really interesting group for sure.


Also love that snap of the WW2 team. The identification is super cool.

While I wasn't the underbidder on the the Wright, I was in the mix. Glad it landed in a collectors hands! Great pick up!

I just recieved a Pee Wee Reese snap so I thought I'd share the Jackie I also recently acquired. I'm going to frame the two together.

I have a little background on the Jackie as an autographed sibling sold awhile back at REA. Without that sale I wouldn't have found out its from the 1951 Cooperstown game.

Thanks for looking!

Superb combo wade!

Got a cool Girls team snap today. What makes it special is it was taken on my birthday. Also the Permanent Hi-Gloss Fade-Pruf Stamp is something I have never seen before. I had no idea photo fading was being addressed as a problem in the early 1930s! Guaranteed not to fade or discolor, now that's a bold statement.

Anybody recognize the AGA Emblem on the one Girls Shirt? Have looked high and low to no avail on identifying.

Great mail day today. Crosley Field, war time 1943. Bobo Newsom in the foreground and beautiful Crosley Field in the background.

Love the Jackie!

Nice Crosley snap!

Did a good old fashioned 1 for 1 trade and I got the Lou for the Ted. Attachment 611272Attachment 611273

Just picked this early career Ted Williams signed snapper. I don't often see the "Ted" with quotes version of his auto. Anyone know anything about that version?

Nice pick up Paul! Beautiful autograph!

Not sure when he started or ended the "Ted" but the photo appears to be from 1940 if that helps based on the Calvert billboard ad.

Thank you Gary and thanks for the info!

These are from a 1940s University of Kansas at Kansas State University game:

I was in Pittsburgh for opening day (how about them Bucs 9-2!) anyway I added another original Clemente wedding snapshot to my collection. It’s the first one pictured here. I believe I posted the other two before. Posting them here as they make a nice grouping. All three originate from the Clemente Wedding album.

Very cool, Clemente wedding photo.
Vera was a looker! ;)

Forbes Field behind left/left center field. Seller said it was 1911-1915 but I really have no idea. Can't find any other shots with these lights showing. Maybe somebody else is good at dating stadiums?
Really beautiful shot with the model T. Unique as it was taken beyond the outfield rather than in the stands pointing to the outfield like 99% usually are. Things like this are my favorite. Mounted to a cabinet card, but cropped for better viewing experience.

Just a beautiful piece Lucas! I'm just now noticing, are those kids/people looking through the fence center right in the photo?

Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Tyvm Wade, and I think you are right, Definitely looks like it. The fence height was 12 feet tall and they look way too short to be adults in comparison. That would explain kids looking through a gap low to the ground. Great eye.

If anybody else wants to see it a bit better here's the full size/resolution on my site. https://imageevent.com/lucas00/snaps...=1&n=1&l=0&z=9

Some snapshots from my PC

1962 spring training with Mickey Mantle signing autos for the youngsters. It has a really interesting note in Spanish on the back. Translated it reads:

Vicky,
This is the horse Mantle before the game, here at Pompano field.
Pompano Beach
2/18/1962

I'm guessing it's a term of endearment of sorts calling him a hardworker/fast runner. Or maybe they meant caballero which would be gentleman.

Just added these from a board member. Thanks Steve.
All from 1933. The two individuals are from Washington vs the Senators. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a655e98a53.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ee41b5702b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8f7a651513.jpg

Very young Hank Sauer, either rookie or second year. And a similar 1941 or 1942 Reds multi member snap, not sure of any of the players shown. Cool shot, looks like it was taken in a church yard. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...38b3f3c1d0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d79c39058b.jpg

Great shots Lucas. Both are from spring training and the one on the left was taken at Plant Field in the Tampa while the one on the right was taken at Indiana University which is where the Reds trained a few years in the early 40's due to WWII.

Thank you for the insight Chris. Much appreciated!

This thread has been gone way too long!

This ones for the cubs superfans who want every cub ever.

A recent buy for my snap collection, Red Thomas who played 8 total games, all of them for the 1921 cubs. In his beautiful Cubs Sweater, love this one.

THAT is a beauty.

Recent snapper pickups from the 2024 National
 

Here are two recent no-hit pitcher snapshots that I picked up at the 2024 CLE National:

**HOF great Cy Young and a young girl named June Elizabeth posing in what I'm guessing is possibly Peoli, OH circa 1940.
Note that Ol' Cy has added his signature facsimile stamp to the back of the snapshot.
Cy Young pitched 3 no-hitters including one of the 1st Perfect Games.

* A signed color snapshot of CWS RHP Joe Horlen from circa 1967-1969.
Joe Horlen hurled his no-hitter on 9/10/67 @ CHI.

Wow, I'm not sure which of those is the best, but they're both great

+1!

If I didn't collect Red Schoendienst, I would collect Gil Hodges. A great player and remembered by all as a phenomenal person. Gil is shown here Ca.1950 with a beaming smile.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e7170f15de.jpg

Great Gil Hodges snapper, Lucas!

Thanks Scott! Have a few more of Gil I'll share in the near future 😃.

Tom Terrific snappers
 

My good friend Tony Swann just gifted me these two great snappers of Tom Seaver from his stint with the White Sox in the mid-1980's.

The first one is from Camera Day and the second one is from a CWS Charity event.

RIP Tom Seaver

Scott, that's a nice snap of Joe! Congrats on the find!

He's donning the Chisox '64-'66 road blue style uniform in the picture. But, it could have been taken during spring training of '67 before their new-cursive style jerseys were introduced at the beginning of the regular season.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for dating the uniform that Joe is wearing!
FWIW, I suspect that the photo was taken at spring training.
It helps when you have a resource like you that actually knows. ;)

Scott

Your Seaver pics reminded me of the ones I took of him at Memorial Stadium in '84...

One is of him warming up in the bullpen pregame & the other is him throwing a pitch to Cal Ripken Jr. (if you look closely you can see the ball midflight):

Here are my latest snapshots, including Satchel Paige, who played forever (Thanks board member Kris!), and Shirley Smith, who played one season in the AAPGBL in 1947.

Absolutely loving my Bobby Doerr snapshot pick up. Not sure what it is, but there’s something so awesome about the vintage camera.

Some Damn great adds from members recently!
