Snapshots...Lets See Them!

[Chris-Counts]

There was a wonderful group of snapshots taken in 1939 and 1940 in Crosley Field that was auctioned off on eBay last week. There were 7 team lots representing each visiting team. I was fortunate enough to win two lots, the Cubs and Bees. Did anybody else where win any of the lots? Pictured below are Dizzy Dean, Claude Passeau, Al Simmons (with an unidentified player, maybe Eddie Miller) and Casey Stengel.

Chris, I attempted to win the dodgers lot as it had a pee wee reese rookie. But got sniped on it.

Great wins!!!

Hi Lucas, the seller didn't identify most of the stars. He said the Dodgers lot was from 1939, so I was hoping the snapshot of Pee Wee would slip through the cracks because he came up in 1940. It was a real beauty.

I didn't realize Stengel and Simmons were part of the Bees lot until after I bought it.

The seller identified the photographer as a Mrs. Ben Fox, who's pictured above with Passeau.

Great pick ups!

I was the under bidder on the Dodgers lot. The Pee Wee was certainly a hidden gem. Props to who won it!

Congrats on the Cubs lot Chris!...I was the under bidder on that one as well Awesome Dizzy & you get a pic of the photographer as well which is what I thought was neat.

I was lucky to win the Giants & Phillies lot.
