Ancient relics are unearthed, with these (2) Bain News Service original 5x7 baseball photographs. These century-old photos captured prominent stars on game day, with:



1920 Jim Bagby with identifier notations at the top of the image area rates as Gd-Vg. A reverse side stamp is dated 8/3/20, and incorrectly cites Bagby as a New York Yankees pitcher, when in fact Bagby was with the Cleveland Indians in 1920. Bagby recorded 31 wins in 1920, and he was the winning pitcher of the Game 5 clincher in that season's World Series.



1921 Eddie Brown, also with identifiers at the top of the image area. With deference to minor surface loss at two of the corners, these photo presents VG+ details. A reverse side stamp dated 4/12/21, properly identifies Brown as a member of the New York Giants.

Opening Bid $150.
