Very pleased to add this mounted photo to the Bridges collection. Has anyone else seen a similar photo of other Tigers?

I personally have not seen other mounted photos in the exact style of the Bridges. But I must say that is simply a stunning image. I can't ever recall seeing a vintage photo with such exceptional crispness and clarity. What a beauty!

Thanks guys. It's the best period photo of Bridges I have ever come across. I wish the scan could convey the "sheen" of the image. I was asking about other Tigers as the seller felt it was personal photo commissioned by Bridges, but being in uniform I feel there might be others out there of other players.

I agree that it was most likely commissioned by Bridges and looks like something possibly made for autograph purposes...

Was fortunate to win 6 of 7 auctions for the 1959 Kit's Manufacturing Company Cleveland Indians Autographed Portraits on ebay last week. The group includes Gary Bell, Rocky Colavito, Tito Francona, Jim Perry, Vic Power, and Herb Score. The "Genuine Oil Painting Reproductions" are each in a small plastic frame measuring approximately 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" and the group is unopened in original packaging.

I lost out on a 7th piece which was Woodie Held (congratulations on a great pickup!). I've wondered for some time what the complete checklist looks like, but so far these are the only players I have seen. Until this auction I had not even seen the Held, Perry, and Score before! Hoping this will spark some interest and result in more of these coming up for sale.

That is exactly the kind of stuff I love! The Giants have a similar, super rare set but they are photographs and bigger. The 3D frames have to be “assembled” by tab and slot.

I noticed two things about yours: Terry Francona bears a strong resemblance to his dad and Jim Perry’s autograph of his surname is similar to Gaylord’s. Great pick up!
