Photos used for cards

It's always interesting to see the photos that were either used for baseball cards or depict the same images. Here is a recent pick up....anyone else? (the card is only for comparison, I don't own it)

Leon...:I am amazed that Lou held that awkward pose for long enough to have the spectators in the back of your photo shooed out of the frame to allow the exhibit card image to be captured! ;)

Yeah, Chris, airbrushing can do some amazing things.......

I believe this photo is the basis for a N167 card. Esterbrook's demise is quite a story.

You realize I was joking, right? :)

Classic Donlin, used for a ton of cards.

This has become a very competitive niche sector of the hobby.

Note; The DiMaggio Card is NOT mine, but the other three items are. :)

LOTS of George Burke photos used for R312, R313, R314 and 1939 and 1940 Play Ball cards in particular. Just a small sampling (in that order):

Lance:

Love the Johnny Mize Rookie pair!

Amazing stuff guys!!! I love this kinda of stuff. I have several but here is my favorite. It was bought years ago with both exhibit cards I then added the E card and had it framed. It still needs to be reset in the frame again but I didn't want the framer to use anything with adhesive. Anyways I will get the others I have but this is my favorite. If you look close you can see the marks they used when they cropped to photo for the cards final shot. Who new there was a catcher there. :)

very cool scott!

Many if not all of mine will be in the next Legendary Auction. The Gehrig is at PSA getting authenticated. I hope everyone bids a lot. :) They are some really neat photos.

Holy cow, Ben! Either you've been really busy, or you've been saving these up. Either way, very nice!

Perhaps I have a sickness..most likely terminal. I have been busy for a long while:)

LOVE that Strunk, Jeff!! He had such an expressive face - really killer!

Amazing PC, B. I just missed that one! Great find.

1960 Fleer Lefty O'Doul

If you look closely, you can see he rolled his dress shirt sleeves up under his jersey...from the Boston Herald archives.

Here's what Sandy Koufax called the biggest World Series game of his career. It set the tone for the 4 game beatdown that the Dodgers inflected on the Bombers. This series was a "get even" series as the boys in blue, blew the deflated Yanks right out of the House that Ruth built!:eek:

The photo has become an iconic image in the Sports World of Baseball Card Collecting Baby Boomers (like most everyone here).

Interesting that an 1895 image is used on a 20th century card.

So here's a question: what process do you guys follow to match up a photo to a card? By that I mean, are you familiar enough with the card images that, when you happen upon the corresponding photo, you recognize it immediately? Or do you see a likely photo, and then go looking through cards for that player to make the match? Or is it something more serendipitous and in-between? Just curious as to how others go about it.

1939 Play Ball Bill Dickey

Lance

I'm not much into the photos, but I do pick one up every now & then. For me, sometimes I see a photo & just know I've seen the image somewhere else. So then I start looking at the player's cards. I've had the chance to buy a few others in the past, but didn't want to spend a lot and was outbid. They weren't real big stars like some of the other photos posted so far.

When I saw the Dickey though, it kinda stood out like a sore thumb.

Here is the version of your Play Ball Bill Dickey I mentioned earlier. I knew I had saved the photo. I still kick myself for not picking it up when I had the chance.

Gus on a 3x5 photo and on an M101-4 (Not My Card)

Terrific photos from everyone! I'm surprised how many of us collect this niche of the Photography Sector of the Hobby. However I do know why... cause it's a blast! :D

Great thread. Here are a few Zach Wheats from the same photo.

Kenny. That Wheat photo is absolutely superb! One of those images that's hard to stop looking at. Congrats on that, Kenny!

Thanks Jimmy,that Wheat photo was actually used on the shirts one year at the national several years ago. I enjoyed wearing that shirt as Wheat was born in my home town and is mainly who I collect.

+1 Great pic

GREAT Wheat picture, Kenny! I collected him for awhile since he was a fellow Missouri guy. Since then I've moved on to other areas of collecting but still regret selling my Wheat collection (all 5 cards LOL).

Very cool Adam! I know these exhibits well. Where did you find these?

These photos arrived today. 1960 Fleer Hack Wilson and 1949 Leaf Mize

Scott: from Legendary a few auctions ago.

T206 Howell and my Carl Horner Portrait

Thats a beautiful Carl Horner Portrait. This 1963 I.D.L. DRUG STORE WILLIE STARGELL is not in that league but fun nonetheless.

Here's a 1939 Lou Gehrig TYPE 1 photo that hit the daily double, as it was used for both a card and a magazine cover! Coincidentally, both the card & magazine were issued in 1948.

I bought this photo from the Christy Walsh Family several years ago, and only discovered that it was used for one of his candy cards a couple years back.

Ran across this while doing some Burke photo research and thought I would revive this thread as I suspect a few more connections have been made in the last 4 months.

Hand-tinted George Burke 8x10 used in production of the Bra-Mac photo/card. Note the application of the plastic Dymo label for the number, name and year (only the name remained on the original when it passed through my hands, but evidence of the other 2 labels previously being affixed is visible).

That's a great example of the 'photo to card' process we see in the '33 and '34 Goudeys. The Lazerri is one of my favorite Goudeys.

That's a great shot. Originally taken by Legendary Lensman, Paul Thompson I believe.

It's amazing how horrible the strip-card result was....well,

IMO FWTW <===trying to act young (TTAY)

I do not own any of these, but just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed this thread thanks to everyone for sharing.

Wow, Steve, LOVE those first 2 examples!

Found a match for 1934 Gold Medal Vosmik
