It is difficult to fathom the investment of time and other resources that went into the assemblage of this astounding collection of 577 autographed photos. What is equally astounding is the constant thread of stunning aesthetic quality throughout due primarily to the photographic genius of George Brace one of baseball's most renowned photographers whose lens captured each and every image. All of these 4" x 6" black and white photos features a "Brace Photo" label adhered to the reverse. The images are mostly from the late 1930s to early 1950s that were reproduced from Brace's original negatives some time ago. It is a unique and vastly comprehensive archive that could likely never be replicated. Most are NM to NM/MT photos with bold "8-10" ink felt tip or Sharpie signatures (a small amount somewhat lesser). Some are signed "To Wayne" and there are a few duplicates in the mix. Hall of Famers: 13 photos w/Boudreau Doerr Feller Fingers Herzog Irvin Kell Kiner Roberts B. Robinson Slaughter and Snider. Notables: 68 photos w/Joe Black Ralph Branca Harry Brecheen Bob Buhl Lou Burdette Tommy Byrne Phil Cavaretta Wes Covington Roger Craig Harry Danning Al Dark Crash Davis ("Bull Durham") Dom DiMaggio Ryne Duren Carl Erskine Elroy Face Ferris Fain Herman Frank Bob Friend Joe Garagiola Al Gionfriddo Pete Gray Marv Grissom Dick Groat Clint Hartung Tommy Henrich Tommy Holmes Johnny Hopp Hal Jeffcoat Clem Labine Vern Law Johnny Logan Frank Malzone Marty Marion Gene Mauch Gil McDougald Cal McLish Minnie Minoso Don Mossi Don Newcombe Irv Noren Joe Nuxhall Mickey Owen Andy Pafko Mel Parnell Johnny Pesky Bill Pierce Jimmy Piersall Johnny Podres Bill Rigney Preacher Roe Johnny Sain (2) Hank Sauer (2) Herb Score Bobby Shantz (2) Roy Sievers Curt Simmons Sibby Sisti Chuck Tanner Birdie Tebbetts Virgil Trucks Bob Turley Johnny Vander Meer Mickey Vernon Wes Westrum and Gus Zernial.
