Thank you jdmeltz. I think you are more on the right track in saying that Mary Brace's story may not be exactly accurate. I happen to know that Mr. Rowe did not disappear off to Florida. He lived in his same home for many many years and in fact attended Mr Brace's funeral, and gave Mrs. Brace condolences and probably attended the after reception. Rest assured the negatives are most likely in the hands of the rightful owners.

I think I have a couple; really liked both images. Same backs and same handwriting:

Most of the Rowe postcards were borderless, but that does look like his handwriting.

I own about 20 Phillies with the same handwritten notations of the players on the back...some are more common than others but they pop up on ebay fairly often (although not always identified as Rowe postcards).

This seems like a great source for cataloguing the Rowe releases, but it would be a tough task, as there are no dates associated with the negatives.

rowe and brace
Jim Rowe and Brace made a deal with the HOF to copy photos from the Hall's library. I have no idea what the terms were. Anyway, they loaded up the car with a copy stand and film and drove to Cooperstown from Chicago. You have to remember, Cooperstown is mostly inaccessible to the rest of Earth.
When they arrived, the guy from the museum said, "Oh, we have been trying to contact you. We don't care to do this deal." This was really lame. Anyway, Brace said to Rowe, "Well, as long as we are here, want to look around the museum?" Rowe, furious, said, "Hell no." And they got in the car and returned home. This is a true story Rowe told me back in the late seventies. |

Mr. Rowe was a great guy. I remember buying tons of Cardinals players photos in the early 80s He not only would take photos of major league players , but he also had tons of minor league players. The problems began after both gentlemen were deceased and the others family members wanted a piece of the pie.
