Hi John, I have the original photo used for Reds 1949 bowman. It was taken by George Dorrill the cardinals team photographer with his stamp on the back. The name on the front is not on the original photo. Hope that helps somehow.

We have a similar image with a black signature:



It's from an All-Star Photo Pack

Aquarian Sports Cards Aquarian- Scott Russell: Do you know when the All-Star Photo Pack was issued, (in what year) and how? That is one of the issues I come across, what year the photos were issued and how! Most photo packs I have seen are 6x9 or so, the photos I have are all 9x10. I do not see very many photos like the ones I have, and when I do, they are modern reprints. So far no one has been able to even tell me where the modern reprint comes from, or how the original photo was issued. I have seen photos like yours before, and cards that look like it, great photo. John.

This particular one was the 1949 Photo Pack.

We have had white signature photos from the same era as yours which often corresponded to the bond bread photos. I'd have to dig around but I'll see if I can find them.

Great thank you, I do have some Bond Bread cards that do match the photos as you say, right down to the script name and style., an exact match. The square cut cards that we call Bond Bread came out circa 1940s and the Homogenized Bond Bread cards that used many of the same images as the square cut cards came out 1947. Many of the photos seem to be from the 1940s, take the Jackie Robinson photograph used to produce 1952 Berk Ross Baseball Card, the scoreboard says 1946, before Jackie’s rookie year of 1947. My question is was the photo around before they made the card in 1952, it had to be, with the name on it and all. Again look at the Bond Bread cards, they came out in 1940s-1947 and everything is a match. I have posted a few, if I get time I will try to post more photos and cards that match , it could help. John.

image of photo and cards that match:Vern Stephens. Notice the uniform is St. Louis Browns. That places the photo in 1941-1947, the baseball card W571 is circa 1940s. The other is a 1976 HRT/RES reprint.
Could this photo be from a photo pack from the St. Louis Browns. 1940s. John

What was the classification on the photo? I cannot tell, was
it a Type 3? John

Here are the photos you asked for. All bought at the same time….. all blank backs. Glossy photo paper probably vintage 1950 or so I would guess….
