More Scarce Brace Additions

I swear I'm sharing these as I get these, but I have an assortment of Brace photo images that fill in major gaps in my custom card Master Set project -- call them "White Whales," I suppose.

I admit to cropping the three non-Cardinals. If someone would really prefer the full image, PM me please.

1) Dick K. Smith was an outfielder with the Senators for nine games and a pinch-hitter for 12. He hit .300 three times in the minors, but was dealt away Montreal during the 1970 season, and did not play past that year.

2) Seen a poorly tinted blurry copy of this images of 1969 Twin Charlie Walters before, but original shot had what appeared to be a private meeting between coaches. I did not want to intrude. Walters was in a total of six games, all in relief.

3) Veteran Joe Nossek completed his MLB career by playing nine games with the Cardinals in 1969 and one in 1970. The one photo I'd seen of him had at least a photoshopped background, it seemed, and who knows what else. But this is a definitely Cardinals uni.

4) Wayne Tyrone, like brother Jim, played for the Cubs. But his one card was a dusty, distance action photo which did not even show his face. Brace at least captured his good side. He was in the Cubs system for five years, but only cracked the Show in 1976, playing in 30 games. His only home run was off Jim Kaat.
