Picked up a nice single player cabinet photo of a Nebraska Indians player (circa 1905)...first single player cabinet I've ever seen from this team.

Sweet Dan! Have you seen this player in any other images you have? Do you know his name? I know this might be tough as many used nicknames and such.

The back of the photo reads "Florence Frazee, Osage, Iowa"....I was able to locate 1900 census records that question whether Florence was male or female, so I assume that since they questioned it they had reason to believe Florence was a male. I haven't been able to put a face to any of my other photos yet, but haven't looked closely yet.

Was that photo taken in Indiana? You would think it would be more likely from Nebraska.

Yep, The Nebraska Indians lost to Washington, Indiana in 1904 by a score of 2-1. My guess is that this photo was taken at that time.

edited to add: I also do not believe this player was Native American.

I've said it before I think, but I'll say it again. I've always wondered if the subjects in these photos had any idea that over 100 years later someone would have such great appreciation for their photograph? That people would still enjoy seeing the image and that it would even still exist after all this time.

Great image Dan!

Absolutely love the Frisch/Delancey photo Jeff. Always felt that Delancey would've been one of the all time great catchers had TB not taken his life at a young age.

I recently picked up this home dugout card (1/1) from Nolan Ryan's last career win # 324.

On 8/15/93 Nolan Ryan faced off against starting pitcher Jose' Mesa and the hometown Cleveland Indians.

This lineup card is an awesome complimentary piece to a number of items from Nolan's last win that I own in my advanced Ryan collection.

I own Nolan's complete uniform from his last win as well as a game used ball and signed ultra-scarce Indians loge box ticket and scored program to this game.

Just picked up this great original Sandy Koufax color slide from Henry Yee ebay auctions. His quality of original photos and negatives always amazes me. Taken in April 1962 from Sandy's 18 K game 2nd time in career tying major league record.

Awesome slide, Phil! It doesn't hurt that the photo was shot at historic (and 100 year old as of last Wednesday) Wrigley Field- The Friendly Confines.

Congrats on your pickup!

And shot by a well-known photographer, Lee Balterman, who did some work for Sports Illustrated but is probably better known for his non-sports photography. Nice pick-up!
