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.
