I am not sure if he was in the set or not. Please send me a PM if you have something of him. Thank you so much.

Andrew---Any chance you have a GPN of Mort Flohr? He pitched for the Connie Mack's A's in 1934 only---a cousin of mine.

Very possible but I won't know until I start really sifting through the collection. There are hundreds of negatives and not all of them are in alphabetical order at the moment. Will add him to my list of requests .

So far our thinking has been to do 5x7 prints but now 4x5 looks plausible. Hopefully I will have some samples to share soon .

Try measuring the original size of your negatives.

4x5 is an aspect ratio of 0.80

whereas

5x7 is an aspect ratio of 0.714

The closer you match the original aspect ratio of your negatives, means there would be lesser of the picture that would get cropped off. I am sure you have thought of that already but thought I'd share my thought. ^.^

Finally have some sample images to share. These scans were taken directly from the glass plate negatives and have not had any post-processing work done yet.

As mentioned previously, there are hundreds more where these came from:
