Hey there, I decided to go back and dig through some old Topps Vault folders and came across a few images that I hope someone can better.

Here's a few for Ollie Brown that I am hoping that someone has a larger or more clear version of for either.

Thanks in advance!

Generally speaking, that's the size and clarity those images were offered in. In fact, those Ollie Browns are pretty good compared to what TV used to offer. Unless someone had access to the originals, those are likely as good as you're going to get of those specific images. I have noticed a few of the earlier TV images (or ones substantially similar) offered anew in the larger, clearer format. But not Ollie's Brewer shots.

Really appreciate the insight FatJack! Thank you.

Here are a couple of rare photos of Harmon Killebrew from Picture Day at Chattanooga at the start of the 1957 season. Many of the negatives from these sessions were not properly processed and puckered in the years that followed.

These images of Harmon Killebrew are cropped from some badly damaged negatives owned by the poster

This is a modern print from an original native processed for a newspaper in 1959. Negativ owned by the poster.

The warren_miller image in the Facepack and on Miller's B-R.com page actually pictures career minor leaguer Billy Miller with the 1905 Buffalo Bisons. I have replaced it with this image, picturing Miller with the 1912 Albany Senators.

I've found some photos of Steve as a Royal in the '72 unis, just never in the applicable '73s. Topps Vault just released these.... sweet.

First I've ever seen of this cameo-making 1971 White Sox outfielder in a major league park (Anaheim) - among an amazing number of obscure guys in the last few Topps Vault postings.

Yes, I'm back, thanks for the kind words, I don't want to overdo any of this just lets be careful on how we use Topps images before they wind up on eBay - there has been talk of making that hosting site password-protected and that would kill off our access to the images they chose not to sell (about 40-50% of them)

The "old" Big A slightly more evident in the background.

A's "designated pinch runner" succeeding Herb Washington and Allan Lewis - actually got a hit in six AL at bats in '75. Three appearances in '76 and gone (and only shown on one big league card - from the SSPC "previews" in the premiere episode of "Collectors Quarterly" in 1975 - and we'll just skip who the editor of that magazine was)

[Merkle923]

Just six appearances with the A's - drafted by Toronto in the 1977 expansion; never appeared for them.

Hey Merkle....I believe you said these images were just released by topps vault? Where can I go to find out what images have been released?

Courtesy of ToppsVault, might this be Silvio Martinez 1977?

Three years, only 41 games with the Angels
