I used to own thousands of them. Wish I still had them. I still do have a couple hundred, but not nearly the collection I used to own.

What I like about snaps is the spontaneous nature of them. A fan was there, the player was there, and usually there was an interaction between the fan and player that led to the photo being taken; the whole record of it is right there on the paper. They are sort of low-tech selfies. Here is a 1948 Durocher; you know there was a fan calling out to Leo to stand still for a photo:
They can also have a lot more personality than posed pro shots. The Cubbies on Catalina Island for spring training, doing a seven dwarves thing through Avalon: Billy Cox outside Ebbetts Field. How often do you see a ballplayer now just walking into the stadium with the people? Preacher Roe: Ernie Harwell: Joe Louis at a train depot in WWII; the photographer must've asked The Brown Bomber for a photo op: Young Rocky Marciano at a training camp posing for the fan:

Damm those are all nice.
Candid moments frozen in time. Not that there is anything wrong with cards or professional photos. . . .but these are sweet. |

I thought this one was interesting too:
Doesn't appear to be anyone of note, just a nice early snap of African-American players.
