Mark FimoffMaybe I am mis-interpreting Dan's comment to some degree, but the LoC project involves digitization of actual Spalding Guides, not the photos themselves. So all images are as they appear in the Guides. As far as I know, LoC does not have the actual original photos that were used in the Guides (except for a relative few).
HoF has some also, probably more than LoC. I have purchased photo scans from them for articles I have published. That involves not only the cost of the rights fee, but also can involve costs for the search. If you want a scan of specific photo for personal use - I don't know how that works. The contact person is Pat Kelly.
