The answer on Topps/Phillies photos of Hank Allen, Gigon, Emery, and Elia is "no." I had access to the file and checked basically every file. There are no "unidentified" Topps negatives - they're just not labeled on that image storage website.

I could use a good photo of outfielder, (William) Blondie Purcell from his days with the Philadelphia Quakers (Phillies) of 1883-1884 or from any part of his major league career (1879-1890).

I'm not sure why the quest continues for a photo of Cal Emery as a Phillie, given that I cited tnfoto's previous posting of one on October 29, 2010. But perhaps the desire is for one in color instead of B&W. Here's the same photo in color, as produced in the "One Year Winners" card series by Larry Fritsch in 1983.

Tnfoto had posted a photo of Blondie Purcell in an 1888 Baltimore (American Association) uniform, which would qualify as major league. The posting was on the following webpage: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...opack-877.html

The only other major league uniform shots I'm aware of for Purcell are in the Old Judge card series. One example may be seen on the Deadball Era website at: TheDeadballEra.com :: BLONDIE PURCELL'S BASEBALL CARD

It's a little bit difficult to discern what the uniform is, despite the particular card reading "Baltimore." I have a book which pictures five Old Judge cards for Purcell. Three label him as with being with the Baltimore team. Two have him with the Athletics. All the uniforms look pretty much the same. I suspect it was one series of photo shoots in the studio. The uniform looks a lot like the Baltimore uniform in the photo posted by tnfoto, but I'll let you be the judge.

This is the only image I have of Purcell with the Quakers, from 1884.

Purchased these on ebay several years ago. I forgot I had them until found recently. I scanned them and placed in image files and wanted to share with all of you. Especially other Padres fans from the difficult 1970s.

Hey there - need some images of 1978 Astros in all their Orange and Red glory:
Reggie Baldwin (have the 1980 Topps Rookie card image - need to upgrade)
Mike Fischlin (have B&W - need color)
Oscar Zamora (have B&W - need color; have the '78 Topps paint job - yuck)
Keith Drumright
Joe Cannon
Dan Warthen
Jim Obradovich (have B&W - need color)

Thanks!

Might have missed a definitive color print, but this is the best Mike Lum non-card portrait I've seen, from a Braves' yearbook.

Still would love to find something in color, but I am putting this in the hands of a photoshop wizard. This was from 68 Braves Illustrated yearbook, Santorini on left, Skip Guinn on the right.

Hello all, medium-time lurker and first-time poster. Come here an unhealthy number of times per day to see if anything's new; am in awe of both your collections and sleuthing skills.

Back in May I bought this Topps Vault transparency. Topps billed it as a 1975 Mike Phillips, which I knew wasn't true. I think it's Jim Dwyer. But perhaps I'm wrong and it's a minor leaguer?

Very nice story and pictures in this morning's NY Times on pitcher Luther 'Dummy" Taylor who played most of his career with the NY Giants (1900-08...4 games with Cleveland in 1902)."From Kansas to Giants, a Pioneer’s Trail of Wins and Wit"

A-ha! So it is. Many thanks. Fortunately, I wanted a Moses in a Mets uniform -- he suited up for them but never got into a game. So money not totally wasted....
