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.

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.
