Thank you for the insight Chris. Much appreciated!

This thread has been gone way too long!

This ones for the cubs superfans who want every cub ever.

A recent buy for my snap collection, Red Thomas who played 8 total games, all of them for the 1921 cubs. In his beautiful Cubs Sweater, love this one.

THAT is a beauty.

Here are two recent no-hit pitcher snapshots that I picked up at the 2024 CLE National:

**HOF great Cy Young and a young girl named June Elizabeth posing in what I'm guessing is possibly Peoli, OH circa 1940.
Note that Ol' Cy has added his signature facsimile stamp to the back of the snapshot.
Cy Young pitched 3 no-hitters including one of the 1st Perfect Games.

* A signed color snapshot of CWS RHP Joe Horlen from circa 1967-1969.
Joe Horlen hurled his no-hitter on 9/10/67 @ CHI.

Wow, I'm not sure which of those is the best, but they're both great

Scott, that's a nice snap of Joe! Congrats on the find!

He's donning the Chisox '64-'66 road blue style uniform in the picture. But, it could have been taken during spring training of '67 before their new-cursive style jerseys were introduced at the beginning of the regular season.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for dating the uniform that Joe is wearing!
FWIW, I suspect that the photo was taken at spring training.
It helps when you have a resource like you that actually knows.

Your Seaver pics reminded me of the ones I took of him at Memorial Stadium in '84...

One is of him warming up in the bullpen pregame & the other is him throwing a pitch to Cal Ripken Jr. (if you look closely you can see the ball midflight):
