Why do you think they are doing it as a tribute. It looks like he is wearing a uniform so maybe he died in WW1? |

I've not seen a sports version, but in the old days they often made memorial cabinet photos of the recently dead. Typically they had a composite living image of the deceased surrounded by flowers or such. So memorializing the deceased through photos was common practice. |

I think the printer of the photo superimposed the player in the back from a separate negative. I'm assuming he missed the photo shoot that day. Basically you exposed the blank photo paper with the full team shot, then drop the other negative in, crop it down to show what is desired, then expose the paper again. Print and voila, a "full" team shot. |

Does nobody else find the Chuckie doll disturbing? I'm OK with the dead guy, but the dude in the middle is troubling... |

On second look at this photo what I think the photographer did was insert a shot of a guy in a baseball uniform standing against a wooden fence (bleachers or outfield wall probably). The guy probably was not present when they took the photo or he joined the team later... The doll is probably a ventriloquist doll that served as a mascot. |

That may be the most disturbing thing I have seen in a long time. Buddy looks a little withered. How was this EVER considered appropriate? |

I do not think anyone in the photo above is an actual dead person. Some time back I acquired the photo below and it struck me as extremely odd. I wondered if perhaps the woman on the left was dead? I have contacted many many people who are experts on this kinda of thing, and the consensus was that perhaps she was blind or had a mental illness. While that is quite rare in itself, I was told many times by the photo guys and gals that they had never seen of a "posed" dead person standing up(as if still alive). A few had seen some photos of someone "posed" sitting down and wearing regular clothes, but that is extremely rare! |

is clearly on the ball here. I used to collect the occasional unusual image - and have seen 3/4 with similar anomalies as a result of missing people. That being said, I think the dummy is priceless......... |

Do I really have to state the obvious here? It's an overprint. It's a "ghost" image that was transposed on to that picture from another picture, geez..... |

Fred was definitely goofing. But his insinuation could easily lead to an entire thread about overprints/underprints and cockfighting. |

If you look real close at the guy on the far left of the second row, just over his right shoulder, you'll see Susan B. Anthony...weird. |

I wish I had video footage of Susan B. Anthony's audition for Cirque du Soleil. She looks so stiff that you could prop her on top of two stacks of books and iron a shirt. |
