Love those action shots
1 Attachment(s)
I was thinking back to my 1953 Pee Wee Reese which for some reason I can't find at the moment but I just love the image. Nothing better than an good action shot. I have to look around for some better cards and photos but I grabbed a quick photo some. Let's see what you got....

Here is the Reese. This card always makes me wonder what cards carry the highest premium for a great photo. Reese is up there, Horizontal Obaks and Zeenuts. What else?

This goes well w/ this thread and the current T3 thread

It is always the horizontal poses that catch my eye. I suppose that would be a fun collecting focus: the horizontal poses from every set.

http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...10-e93-ty-cobb and technically not vintage, but this card has a great action shot (well, it is over 40 yrs. old)... http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/3695/71munson.jpg |
This is my favorite action image on a Baseball Card...

Several years ago, I bought this 1955 TYPE 1 photograph of The Great Clemente by famed Sports Illustrated Lensman Herb Scharfman. The Image was used for Clemente's Classic 1956 TOPPS Card.

Gotta love ........
The Catch

The 1956 Topps set is just absolutely chock-full of great action shots. The 1956 Clemente mentioned already in this thread is one of the best ever, i love shots where the fielder is in front of an interesting wall.
|
Raise your hand if you checked ebay for a '56 Clemente after reading this thread.

Some cool stuff guys. And yes I did check the bay for a '56 Clemente. :D
Keep em comin' |

Most of my cards are portraits but I always loved this action shot of Red getting ready to fire one in there...

Brian - It is interesting that the V100 & E123 cards of Allan Russell show him swinging a bat, inasmuch as he was a pitcher - he was on Washington's 1924 W.S. Championship team.

Val,
I know it's strange, but remember Walter Johnson is also shown in both sets with a bat in his hands. Red Faber is also pictured batting. |

A few years ago, I picked-up this TYPE 1 photo of Koufax during his record breaking Game 1 victory of the 1963 Fall Classic, in which he struck out 15 Yankees in The House That Ruth Built. And the following year, TOPPS turned the image into a W.S. Highlight card in the 1964 set.

Hi Brian - Here's the V100 Johnson you referred to in post #21 along with WaJo's E253 Oxford Confectionery card, which also shows him holding a bat. WaJo was a very-good-hitting pitcher and was often used as a pinch hitter. His lifetime batting average is .235 and he hit 24 HRs during his career, most of them during the dead-ball era. I would have posted this sooner, but I was out of town for several weeks.

Post Redo
For some reason I stopped getting reply notifications, which I found out today after looking at some other threads I participated in. (Strange since my options are still to receive instant email notifications.)
I was surprised to see the above post displaying "Stealing Bandwidth Is A Crime" which is not what I posted. I see the source from which I grabbed the image also displays same. Don't know how long this has been displayed on this forum. For the record, this is what I was posting - grabbed from another source. http://90feetofperfection.files.word...orldseries.jpg I guess you have to be careful when inserting links, as they may change at the source. Still, a comedic action shot - me thinks, not to mention a classic. |
