Okay, I'm back home. Getting closer to the end of the photo parade.
As always, any and all help is appreciated. Alan

First one is Baskeball Hall of Famer "Laddie" Gale. Led the University of Oregon to the first Division 1 national championship. Played professionally for the Detroit Eagles of the NBL prior to WWII. I believe I met him at the HOF during induction week in the early 1990's. He was also a very good TTM signer.

Well, that brings us up to date on everyone except that last photo (the Texas Rangers guy). Here are the last of my unidentified photos. And no, I have no explanation for the guy in the swimwear in the last photo. I don't wanna know.
As always, your participation in this little ID exercise is much appreciated. Tomorrow, we start on the illegible index cards. Expert a fair number of football, basketball, ice hockey, Olympic signs and maybe some non-sports celebrities. As you can probably guess, I buy a lot of bulk lots without any idea of what I'm getting. Hope some of you are enjoying this as much as I am. Alan

OK, here we are. To bring us up to date, all but two of the thirty-something photos I've posted in the last week have been identified. The only two mysteries are set forth below.
Now, to the index cards. As we all know, dealers have a habit of not always writing the player's name on the back - and that can generate some big mysteries. What will follow is a parade of index cards I haven't been able to figure out. Some may not be baseball - I suspect a lot of the guys who include their uniform number are football or hockey - and there may be a couple of actor or Olympians in the mix. In a few cases, I can make out the name perfectly well - but I have no idea of who the person is! Here's my first batch. Alan
