My cousin is the one holding the bat in that photo.
His name is Lee Handley
I was very excited to find this one, as it is the first one I've ever seen where he's depicted in game action!

I had that one figured out Jason

I had remembered that there were two cousins and the reason I asked was this...

I found this one a few days ago while going through a 1993 set of Charles Conlon cards and wanted to make sure it was your cousin.

So if you don't already have it, and would like it, just PM me your address and I will send it along.

Best, Jimmy

Picked up this Cubs memorabilia at an antique show this weekend. 1932 program vs Giants along with two ticket stubs. Also included was this very nice 1933 Cubs Picture Pack along with the mailing envelope. The set is complete and includes 23 players and 7 non-playing personnel along with Rogers Hornsby, even though he had been released by the Cubs the year before. His picture is similar in format to the other non-playing members of the club that were included in the issue. Hornsby was not included in the checklist in the 2004 Standard Catalog for the 1932 or 33 Cubs Picture Pack. I don't know if he has since been added.

What can the reverse of my recently acquired photo tell you about it?
any thoughts? thanks in advance!

Sometimes you're pleasantly surprised with an eBay purchase.

Last week I posted the first photo below, which was from the seller's listing. For whatever reason, I assumed the diameter of the pinback would be 1 1/4 inch or so (the seller didn't mention the size). I didn't even bother to ask for a scan of the reverse. The pin, even though it's Cleveland related, didn't wow me, so I wasn't all that agggressive with my bid and didn't care much about the details.

The pin arrived today, and surprise No. 1 was the size, just more than 2 inches in diameter. So that was nice. But then I flipped it over and was thrilled to see that the reverse features a photo of Louis Sockalexis! OK, so the photo actually is more likely of some Cleveland city councilman. But it still adds something -- not necessarily value, but maybe a little character -- to the pin.

Rob, I'd ask Ryan about that photo before you just dismiss it as some Cleveland City Councilman....it's very likely that that is Joe Jackson.
