I was looking at some of the old baseball photos on Corbis and found some of the original photos used by Topps for some of the 1950's sets. Some were easily recognizable like these 2:

1952 Topps and 1953 Topps



What cards were these 2 photos used for:

I like Mays in that centerfield nook at the Polo Grounds much better than on that imaginary spring training field.

Can anybody tell me how the Corbis site works? Can you buy photos, is it just to gaze at?

They all look familiar, but the only one I can place is the Mickey going over the wall. That's used on his 1956 Topps in the background. One of my all-time favorite cards.

This is an awesome thread! If anybody has any of the cards which have those photos on them, please post them. It's neat to see the raw photo and then the card that it's used on.

I believe the answer is no? He isn't Ken Griffey Jr ,now he would have made that catch while sipping on the dudes beer in the 3rd row

MAJOR props go out to pomobileclk for starting this thread.

As a 50s collector, I cannot describe how much I appreciate seeing those photos. I always wondered what the artwork was based upon.

Thank you
