Photos used for '33 and '34 Goudey cards

[Runscott]

Ben suggested this and I agree that it's a great idea.

We'll use this thread to collect images of photos used to create cards for the '33 and '34 Goudeys.

As mentioned in the '34 Gehrig thread, it's obvious that the end result was not an exact copy of any photo - Lou's head simply wasn't that big - so, given that the pose is perfect, as well as the uniform creases, and we know that artistic license was taken with everything from the neck up, that would be a good photo to start this thread with. I have an image, but I'll defer to Ben

I have no other original photos for these two sets, so please post up. Once we have a nice pile of them, I'll create a webpage and put a link in my signature line.

This one was just on eBay.

Thanks, Jim. You wouldn't want to trade collections, would you?

I don't remember where I saved this from.

Ron, that hornsby originally sold on ebay I believe. I bought it from a fellow board member. It is a cool image and one that will stay in my collection for a long time.

My other two are:

1) Gehrig that Scott worked on.


2) Tony Lazzeri Charles Conlon TYPE 1



A couple others I WISH I OWNED ARE THE RUTH AND GEHRIG ORIGINAL CONLONS USED FOR 33 GOUDEYS.

It's like a Johnny thread
