You Make The Call

You had me rethink this. Best way to do this is to look at both.

Still Wilhelm?

Thanks for the reverse, great idea. I'm still thinking this may be Wilhelm. The red or orange bill on the hat could be an Orioles or Cardinals hat. Look at his fingers. Wilhelm threw a knuckler with his finger tips. The way his fingers look in this pic could be what they looked like after throwing his top pitch. I went back and looked at his earlier pics with the Giants, Orioles and the one or 2 out there with the Cards and there is a resemblemce. Not 100% sure, but it's close. Thanks again!

It is not Wilhelm

Firstly, with rare exception Topps did not waste the man hours to hand paint black and white team-issued photos of players for whom they already had color images.

Secondly, the coloring isn't orange, it's red, slightly faded from the process of photographing a photograph (and the negative aging over half a century). There are colorized Orioles shots from this era (see the Charlie White image posted several pages back, in the catcher's chest protestor) and it becomes evident Topps made sure there was no chance the orange could be mistaken for red. If anything, this is a Braves' minor league pitcher (possibly Vic Rehm - vague resemblance) and the cap is blank because it had displayed the logo of a minor league team. Plenty of these Braves have been sold by Topps Vault in the last few years.

Thirdly, there would be no call to take an Orioles image of Wilhelm and eliminate the cap logo - which has clearly happened in this case. Wilhelm was only traded by Baltimore after the early 1963 cards went to press and was thus shown in an Oriole uniform. By the time of the 1964 set Topps had plenty of images of Wilhelm with the White Sox.

Ken Pape 1976

Not impossible to find in color in a Texas uniform from his only major league season (1976), but tough.

Lowell Palmer 1969 Never Fails To Make Me Laugh

Made me laugh when the card came out of the packs in March, 1970. Made me laugh when it showed up on their hosting site today. The explanation was that his off-season profession was Detective.

Lowell Palmer in 1974

Palmer pitched for a lot of teams but here's one he didn't make. He was in camp with the 1974 Yankees, by which time presumably his gumshoe work had dried up and he could back off to using merely tinted shades.

Jim Panther 1971

Not a lot of the exotically named reliever who was once dealt for Denny McLain. Here he is with the Braves in 1973.

Stan Papi 1974

Second most famous Papi in Red Sox history, the one for whom Boston infamously traded Bill Lee. Utility infielder, later dished off to Detroit.

That's not the pic for the 1970 Palmer. This is:



You can tell that the one Merkle posted couldn't have made an early-series 1970 Topps card because the Phils didn't wear the "Big P" uniforms until 1970. So any shots of them in those uniswould only be in the latest of the 1970 series (if the pics were rushed back from spring training, but this is clearly at Shea), or more likely the '71s

I suppose reception for the 1970 card was so good they asked Lowell to replicate the pose for '71. And of course they pretty much did, although again, it wasn't that particular shot:

Lowell Palmer

I'm sorry - who said anything about that being the photo on the 1970 Palmer card?

I wrote that the sunglasses made me laugh the first time I saw them (on his card in 1970's second series) and 45 years later they make me laugh still.

Well, not exactly:

The word "sunglasses" is never mentioned, and the "it" in the second sentence implies that what showed up on the hosting site today is the same thing that was on the 1970 card. Logically referring to the image as a whole, hence my correction.

Apologies for misunderstanding what you meant, but the wording was ambiguous, IMO.

Jesse Jefferson (Reprise)

Nobody else was bidding on them, so I bought the Jesse Jefferson "match prints" that I'd posted the sale images of here. I figured they'd scan larger, which they do. And I was curious anyway, having bought a few negatives/transparencies before, but never a "match print". The listing also promised the envelope with whatever assorted ephemera was therein. The envelopes were just regular sized white envelopes cut in half with the year and player name noted and the only ephemera was Jesse's 1979 Topps card, which might have struck me as cooler if I didn't already have several from packs back in the day. At least it didn't have one of those foil stamps on it they do nowadays.

Anywho, here they are with some attempts at color correction. Colors do attempt to pool on these old shots, though.

And, oh yeah, LET'S GO METS!

Bringing the Vault to its knees!

There have some nice hits on the open Vault Folders in the past week, whittling down the number of non-ID'd images to a remarkably small number.

Folder BC, with over 2,025 images, is down to nine unknown images. Here's one (2159):

Name:  BC2159.jpg
Views: 1276
Size:  25.1 KB

Here is the final ID from Folder GF (095)

Name:  GF095.jpg
Views: 1232
Size:  198.3 KB

A slowly shrinking Folder II is down to this (879):

Name:  II879.jpg
Views: 1211
Size:  27.0 KB

The final ID (934) image for Folder EC (tried to convince myself this was Johnny Pesky)

Name:  ec934.jpg

Size:  52.0 KB
