HOF Snapshot Photos.Lets see them!

[GoCubsGo32]

Probably one of my favorite and best hauls! I got this from a guy's who's mother went to baseball games and took pictures of her favorite players. Then the next day she would get the film developed to have the picture signed by the player for the next time they were in town. Here's some of the pictures I got. She lived in Pitt,PA.

Jackie Robinson signed on Aug 3, 1949 turns out it's fainted autograph, really nice pen indentation. Jackie went 1/5 that game.:





Duke Snider Aug 3, 1949 Again, great indentation on photo hard to see with hardly any ink. Says, "Best wishes" in the corner. Snider went 5/5 with 5 RBIs and a HR.:



Robin Roberts- Looks like he signed it once and didn't work so he signed it again, did a better job.




Richie Ashburn-Not signed, but still a cool picture.


Robin Roberts-Sept 1951 signed nicely.

Great stuff guys! The snapshots really give you a feel for the humanity of the players that isn't always there in the more professional shots.

Same seller who I got the photos from. He had two, one that signed and one that was not signed. I couldn't afford the signed one.

Forgot some other snapshot I haven't posted...there's a few other I will poster later..
