Mine is a 1938-39 MEARS Grade 9 Jimmie Foxx gamer. It will probably be the next to the last item I ever sell. The last would have to be a 1947 negative which I found on the internet of a local team playing baseball and an up close of one of the players. It was my father.

Sure. Didn't think anyone would want to see it but here goes. This is the 8X10 photo once developed and last year before he passed away--he signed it for my daughter as a keepsake. I guess he was actually a pretty good player from what people have said. The leagues around here where I live formed an All-Star team once which he was a member and they once played the King and His Court in a game. The story goes he got a hit and reached first with a single. However, on the very next pitch--pitching from near second base--the "King" went behind the back to first instead of pitching to home and picked him off! Thanks.

A GREAT story, and a GREAT photo. The stuff that's personal and meaningful is absolutely the best.
I'm curious, how did you randomly come across the negative? Did you recognize your father immediately?

A factory closed and all things were being discarded including negatives which were posted on Ebay in many lots including some baseball items. I noticed that the person who was the seller lived near me and knowing that my dad had played baseball for this factory team at one time--contacted the person...she allowed me to come to her home for a better look at the photos and I was able to find two that had him (or so I thought) in the negatives. I then bid and was the winner of both. Took and got them developed and yes it turned out they were. I now display them in the sports room along with my other vintage sports items. Thanks again for the kind words and here is the second photo.
