Here is an RPPC with the image used to create the T206 Roy Ellam card. I have only seen one other copy and that one is missing a corner.

Fell into these two pics this week. Not my cards.

1944 Vander Meer official Navy photo used for his 1947 Exhibits.

1952 Ted Wilks shot used for 1953 Topps. Two-time World Series champ and had a near no-no. Not quite the back-to-back no-nos like the man above.

Thanks Dewey. Card photo research is a lot of fun.

The original caption:

Quote:

Ernie Banks Sliding Safely Into HomeChicago Cubs shortstop Ernie Banks (center) slides into home scoring in the tenth inning off a pinch-hit single by Bob Will in a Chicago-Milwaukee Braves game at County Stadium. Braves centerfielder Hank Aaron fielded the ball and threw to catcher Del Crandall (right). The ball went through Crandall's legs allowing Banks to score. The Cubs defeated the Braves in 10 innings. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, September 8, 1957.

A few more from the '59 Baseball Thrills subset.

More Babe and Lou cards

Jeez Ben, don't you have any player photos used in cards other than "common" players? :D

Yikes, what a collection! Congrats. :eek:

Thank you Scott! Great Cobb Jay.

Here is another one I have scanned from 1928 barnstorming of both Babe and Lou.

Bender t205 by Paul Thompson

Great stuff Ben! I enjoyed going back and re-visiting the eye candy in this thread!!

One of my original pics

Having problems posting images. Will try later

Ben,

You collection is unreal! Love the pictures you have in your collection.

More Dead ball...

Wow! Ben Wonderful Photos as always! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you stlcard

Here is my newest pickup. I think Cobb is very undervalued in the photo world for some reason. This is a killer. It is a relatively early image used for his Willard card.

Nice Dukie Dewey! I have never seen that one. How cool is it that the sig is close to the same spot?

Here is my Duke example.

Thanks, Ben. I almost didn't get it because of the signature. Then I slapped myself.

Love your Snider portrait.

What you have there is the original artwork used to create his Police Gazette supplement, shown at the link below. Wouldn't be surprised if the words "Police Gazette" and/or "supplement" are written on the back of your piece :) .

Woah!

Rad George Brett! My favorite non-Dodger growing up by far.

mybestbretts,

Great Georgy...very crisp and clear.

Man... he was rough around the edges earlier in his career. HA!

Here are a couple more Ruth's of mine I found pictures of. The 1927 one with big baseball is silly but I likey.

Ben

photo's used for cards

Wonderful Ben, as always .....What a collection!!!

Wow! I enjoyed catching up on this thread tonight.

Ben, it is jaw dropping to see so many in one collection! I admire your focus on this niche. I'm curious, are the matching cards part of your collection too, or do you just obtain the images to show which card the photo was used for?

Great photos (and cards). Thanks to everyone for sharing.

Not a baseball photo used for a baseball card, but a basketball photo used for a basketball pocket schedule. When I saw this thread, it motivated me to find the photo used for my Syracuse 1979-80 Pocket Schedule with Roosevelt Bowie and Louis Orr on the cover, which I did. Being from Syracuse, this was pretty cool to find. BTW, great stuff in this thread. I especially like the Brooks Robinson Photo (big fan) used for his Rookie Card. Thanks for this thread!

A couple more Babe's

Figured these go together.

Branca 50 and 51 Bowman. Not sure what the photo is. Team issue or what.

My latest pickup

I never could understand what the heck kind of ensemble The Babe was wearing on that card, and now I know that Topps just did a horrendous job colorizing the photo, making his suit jacket lapels become part of his light blue shirt.

Here is another in my collection... 1928 Thorne used for very scarce card.

Indeed. I was in on it for a while hoping no one else would notice. Obviously someone or someones else noticed. Not sure of its true value so I backed off.

I, unfortunately, didn't win it either. Great images of these early Hof'ers are already tough..but when you add the "card connection" as I call it, prices escalate.

Love that Wags and Cobb!

Love of the Game will have a large section of photos used for cards, excited for everyone to see!

This thread is getting too great. Let me bring it down a notch. :D
Sisler Callahan and a crispy 1938 restrike Cobby Callahan/T202. Wish I could afford a Type 1 of the latter!

I finally get to join the club! Picked up this Max West photo that was used in his 1941 Double Play card.

Cool, Mike. Sent you a pm. :)

Thanks Dewey, I really appreciate that!

Very cool, Jim.

Here's another Callahan, perhaps the rarest. Happy Chandler original photo. And a Rogers Hornsby Topps archives original.

M114 and 1933 Worch Cigar (rookie) Arky Vaughan

Interesting the background and the fact that it came from the Baseball Magazine files. This is likely THE PHOTO...the very one...that was used for the M114 premium. Paul Thompson photo.
