Vintage PC: Dating an Early Monarchs Photo of Satchel Paige YouTube video by Floating Heads

It's been awhile since I've put this out there but I did a deep dive video awhile back on trying to date this Satchel Paige image. Its one of my favorite pieces so I really dove into this portion of Satch's career. Please enjoy!

The perfect playing days Satch card and price point eluded me until this beautiful copy popped up. I think this will be the only card I buy in 2025. Yes, it's January but I don’t feel like I need anything else. Maybe that changes in 6 months but for now, this card is enough for a good long time.

Ahhh I see. These aren't photos and SGC doesn't authenticate photos. The confusion here is the "type". This is referring to the different backs and or front that many of the Jay Publishing "photos" have. Kind of like the different Sanella Ruth types are based on where the Sanella name is located.

If there's anything that catches your eye you can send the listing my way and I'll give you the best answer I can. Or reach out to more knowledgeable photo experts for you!

Thanks for the tag! It's a complicated subject but I gave it my best show within character limits 😂

@mcfarm21.bsky.social a type 1 vs a type 2 is a lot harder to discern if captions and the right stamps aren't present. Paper stock can usually give away a print from the 40s vs a print from the mid 50s and on. Optical brightener in photo paper became more common in the 50s. UV lights give that away.

Type 2 is still off of the original negative meaning the image should still be pretty clear and free of the pasted captions that are part of image thats usually in a type 3 image. Here is a type 2 of Cool Papa Bell and Candy Jim Taylor vs a type 3 of Larry Doby with the Newark Eagles.

Home Run Derby the show debuted 65 years ago today. It led to the creation of the event we know today.

Here’s my painting of Roberto Clemente stretching and taking in the sun after a postseason double on October 9, 1972, a little over a week after collecting hit number 3,000.

On this day in 1972, Roberto Clemente tragically passed away while attempting to fly aid packages to Managua. He was 38. Here’s my painting of him stretching his neck and taking in the sun after a postseason double on October 9, 1972, a little over a week after collecting hit number 3,000.

Thinking about you today and everyday because of the example you set. #21.

Monte and Satch 🤌

A really great hobby friend surprised me with this great Santurce crew neck from Ebbets Field Flannels. You know who you are, thank you!

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.”

The three spirits:

1953 Bowman Monte Irvin, SGC 7.5
1947 wirephoto of Larry Doby of the Newark Eagles, printed for publication when he was signed to the Cleveland Indians
1948 photo of Dan Bankhead signing autographs in the Dominican Republic

Here is my 2024 Pickup Tree. Not everything and not the best but a fun lot no doubt. Let me know if there's anything you'd like an up close of! Happy Holidays!

This restrike was created when the HoF was inducting Josh Gibson, fulfilling Ted Williams' request 6 years prior. The line between fact and legend in Gibson's career is blurry. There's no doubt a healthy Gibson would have demolished Major League pitching but he died far too young at age 36 in 1947.

It's not often you get to add a vintage piece of Josh Gibson to your collection and I can't help but share it on his birthday. Although this is a later reprint (type 4) from 1972, I'm extremely happy since it is almost a zero percent chance I obtain a photo from his playing days.
