Wow, an explosion of posts! Really nice additions to the thread, Angels fans had some good photo skills. And those expansion padres are very cool, would be a bidding war for sure!

Also I wonder what Bert was signaling with his finger down? Great shot.

Hey calangels66,

I love all the Angels' snapshots! I followed that lot of early '40s Angels snapshots on eBay for years, and I probably should have pulled the trigger. I grew up near the "Big A" and have many fond memories of watching games starting in 1970. Here are a few snapshots from those days ...

Another Big A! Those are great. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Scott! Pretty cool they did that for the visiting team as well!

I'm not necessarily a snapshot collector, but I picked up this group of photos. I know some of the players, but would love some thoughts on others.

A few years ago I stopped by an antique mall & after walking around a bit, I found a booth that had a shoebox full of baseball snapshots ($2 each/3 for $5). I began to thumb through them & figured out that the majority of them were mid 1990's taken at both Veterans Stadium & newly opened Camden Yards.

After not seeing any that really piqued my interest, I was finally rewarded with this shot of Bo Jackson (from his final season) chatting with Cal Ripken Jr.:

June 1994 - Griffey Jr 'warming up' in the Metrodome.

Sticking with the recent, more modern theme.


Here's one I believe to be late 70s-80s of the commerce comet. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7d6f9aa041.jpg

Those are awesome!

most likely 1973 due to the sleeve patch

50th anniversary! Yes indeed, thanks for the assist.

Added some cool photos today! An early 40’s Ted Williams/ Hank Greenberg and a 1952 photo of Jackie, Joe Black, and Chuck Dressen.

Will change it up a little here....A favorite of mine....Lee Surkowski--Helen Filarski--and Vi Schmidt of the Rockford Peaches.

While I really only collect his brother Brooks this is a very cool snap of Frank.

Brooks Robinson
 

Man, some great snapshots lately; especially like all of the Angels examples.

Here's one of Brooksie (miss him). Anyone else have any examples of Brooks?1? If so, I'd love to view...

Lefty O'Doul out for a round of golf with some other baseball player...from the O'Doul estate.

That big ass is a dead give away. Gotta be the Babe!

Thanks for posting. Really enjoy the Brooks snapshots with photos I’ve never seen before. The above looks a tad off with players standing on some type of stage.

I believe that's a camera day at Angel's Stadium. Definitely a bit odd and look like wax figures haha

The ‘64 example is really nice. I guess it would be even nicer if someone kept it in a drawer instead of their pocket 😃

Thanks for the info. The photo is like it has perforations. I don’t have any shaps quite like that example.

Wouldn't that be 1963 with the B hat?

Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Oh, I’m sorry; yes ‘63.

1924 World Series
 

I found this in a box of photos at the flea market, a1924 World Series outdoor scoreboard. Amazingly it's from Game 7. It's difficult to see, but to the left of the 1st inning, it says NY-Washington.

This is soooo cool!

Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Agree. Great to see.

Finally found the ticket to go with the snapshot:)

Wow! The gate number and all, so very cool!

That's awesome, Chris! Great find! :D

That's pretty awesome! Nice job!

Thanks for the kind words fellas:)

Here are a few I believe (1927?) Cardinal Snaps. Unfortunately Im not sure of any player IDs for certain. Love the World Champion Sweater!

1920’s snapshot of Walter Johnson from Clearwater Florida during Spring Training. This also came with a very cool LOA from his family.

Lucas, could all three of your late '20s snapshots of Cardinals be the same player? I took a quick look at the team's roster from 1926-27, and Taylor Douthit jumped out at me as a possible match.

Here's Johnny Wright, who the Dodgers signed shortly after signing Jackie Robinson, playing for the Montreal Royals in 1946. Also displayed here is a wonderful snapshot of some anonymous WWII team. So far, I've found a couple minor leaguers whose names match the ones listed on the back.

This is the exact same thought another person had, they told me it's the same guy in all 3 except they think it's Billy Southworth. Both guys look similar.

Though I have to note the guy in the Jacket does have a different pattern on his socks and pants.
A really interesting group for sure.


Also love that snap of the WW2 team. The identification is super cool.

While I wasn't the underbidder on the the Wright, I was in the mix. Glad it landed in a collectors hands! Great pick up!

I just recieved a Pee Wee Reese snap so I thought I'd share the Jackie I also recently acquired. I'm going to frame the two together.

I have a little background on the Jackie as an autographed sibling sold awhile back at REA. Without that sale I wouldn't have found out its from the 1951 Cooperstown game.

Thanks for looking!

Superb combo wade!

Got a cool Girls team snap today. What makes it special is it was taken on my birthday. Also the Permanent Hi-Gloss Fade-Pruf Stamp is something I have never seen before. I had no idea photo fading was being addressed as a problem in the early 1930s! Guaranteed not to fade or discolor, now that's a bold statement.

Anybody recognize the AGA Emblem on the one Girls Shirt? Have looked high and low to no avail on identifying.

Great mail day today. Crosley Field, war time 1943. Bobo Newsom in the foreground and beautiful Crosley Field in the background.

Love the Jackie!

Nice Crosley snap!

Did a good old fashioned 1 for 1 trade and I got the Lou for the Ted. Attachment 611272Attachment 611273

Just picked this early career Ted Williams signed snapper. I don't often see the "Ted" with quotes version of his auto. Anyone know anything about that version?

Nice pick up Paul! Beautiful autograph!

Not sure when he started or ended the "Ted" but the photo appears to be from 1940 if that helps based on the Calvert billboard ad.

Thank you Gary and thanks for the info!

These are from a 1940s University of Kansas at Kansas State University game:

I was in Pittsburgh for opening day (how about them Bucs 9-2!) anyway I added another original Clemente wedding snapshot to my collection. It’s the first one pictured here. I believe I posted the other two before. Posting them here as they make a nice grouping. All three originate from the Clemente Wedding album.

Very cool, Clemente wedding photo.
Vera was a looker! ;)

Forbes Field behind left/left center field. Seller said it was 1911-1915 but I really have no idea. Can't find any other shots with these lights showing. Maybe somebody else is good at dating stadiums?
Really beautiful shot with the model T. Unique as it was taken beyond the outfield rather than in the stands pointing to the outfield like 99% usually are. Things like this are my favorite. Mounted to a cabinet card, but cropped for better viewing experience.

Just a beautiful piece Lucas! I'm just now noticing, are those kids/people looking through the fence center right in the photo?

Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Tyvm Wade, and I think you are right, Definitely looks like it. The fence height was 12 feet tall and they look way too short to be adults in comparison. That would explain kids looking through a gap low to the ground. Great eye.

If anybody else wants to see it a bit better here's the full size/resolution on my site. https://imageevent.com/lucas00/snaps...=1&n=1&l=0&z=9

Some snapshots from my PC

1962 spring training with Mickey Mantle signing autos for the youngsters. It has a really interesting note in Spanish on the back. Translated it reads:

Vicky,
This is the horse Mantle before the game, here at Pompano field.
Pompano Beach
2/18/1962

I'm guessing it's a term of endearment of sorts calling him a hardworker/fast runner. Or maybe they meant caballero which would be gentleman.

Just added these from a board member. Thanks Steve.
All from 1933. The two individuals are from Washington vs the Senators. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a655e98a53.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ee41b5702b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8f7a651513.jpg

Very young Hank Sauer, either rookie or second year. And a similar 1941 or 1942 Reds multi member snap, not sure of any of the players shown. Cool shot, looks like it was taken in a church yard. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...38b3f3c1d0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d79c39058b.jpg

Great shots Lucas. Both are from spring training and the one on the left was taken at Plant Field in the Tampa while the one on the right was taken at Indiana University which is where the Reds trained a few years in the early 40's due to WWII.

Thank you for the insight Chris. Much appreciated!
