PS I think the first auto process Polaroid was 1960.

Brandon,

No worries! Your baseball expertise is exceptional. It's great to have a guy like you around as a resource. I'm not even an early baseball collecting guy, but I can't wait to pick up your book on a topic that I would love to know more about.

Ty Cobb died before Polaroid photos were introduced.

Scott thanks a bunch! We just had 2 sample books made up, it's moving along very well now. Thanks for the support!

Tried to do some research online. As far as I can tell, pack film (which is what that photo is cause it has the wide bottom border where the chemical pack is held before it gets squeezed out to develope the picture) came out in 1963 two years after Cobb was dead. It was all roll film before that. So, you know...
