Brooks brother from a half a century or so earlier. Egan wasn't the most attractive of baseball fellas, but the photographer for this D381 should have tried to make things better, not worse. For comparison I added a photo that presents him in a much nicer light.

In a set that has very few good photos, Paul Derringer's photo stands above the rest.

"Oyster Joe" Martina looks much nicer on his T210-1 card than he does on his 1924 Diaz card. Martina's only year in the Majors was with the 1924 WS Champion Senators.

Japan has some weird ones.
This is Hideji Kato's card from the 1975-76 Calbee set with the top half of his head cut off. This card is not miscut or anything, its actually perfectly centred. They just had a picture where you can't even see half his head and for some reason went with it.

One of the worst photos for a baseball card and yet one of my favorite cards at the same time.

Notice how the photo of Bill Gullickson on this card looks kind of grainy, almost as if it was taken by someone just pointing a camera at a game being played on a 1980s TV set?
That is because the photo on this card was actually taken that way. For their 1988 set Calbee didn't have photos of some players and their last minute solution was to just take pictures of a TV during live broadcasts of games and use them. There are a few dozen cards like that in the set. Japanese card sets of the 70s and 80s are almost unbeatable for bizarre photography.

I wonder what pre-war set has the most action photos?
This Vintage card photo's funny. The photo's quality is not very good though. What you don't see here are the players on either side swinging a jump rope. This was a spring training exercise often used by Cardinals in the 30's. lf.jpg Last edited by SAllen2556; 02-11-2020 at 03:55 AM.
