Nolan Ryan Mets Photo/Postcard id help needed

[Scott Garner]

Hi Lucas,
I just now saw your PM. Sorry about the delayed response as I have been on vacation.
The image is one that I have not seen before, but it likely originates from 1966 or 1968.
The poor quality of the image leads me to believe that it was produced much later and obviously not from an original negative.

I hope this helps!

Interesting. Pic was clearly snapped at Wrigley Field.

Thanks for the Input Scott, I agree no way it's an original. However I could definitely see it as a premium or Postcard style giveaway item.

Absolutely, A great backdrop.

George Brace typically took photos at Wrigley.
He is likely the photographer, because I have seen shots similar to this look pose other pitching photos that he took at Wrigley.
My only caveat is that Brace's RPPC's had different backs and the clarity of the photo images were always very clear...

Couldn't agree more to your synopsis. I do think it's crazy if brace took this photo how has there never been any other examples found?

A strange case indeed.
