(LOT 615)
1933 Rogers Hornsby Image Used for his R318 1933 Goudey #188 Subject – Associated Press Type 1 Photo - Measures Approx. 6" x 8" - PSA Type I Encapsulation

Collectors are currently scrambling to collect Original Type 1 photos of the hobby's most-coveted cards, with this 1933 Associated Press Type 1 photo of the immortal Rogers Hornsby the exact image used for his 1933 Godey #188 subject! Portraying his classic St. Louis Cardinals managerial pose, the image emanates brilliant contrast and resolution, projecting a nearly "3-D" like aura via its sparkling central image aesthetics.

Other than a few light wrinkles primarily near the upper left corner, this 6" x 8" marvel retains a majority of its original eye appeal some 86 years ago. The flipside includes an Associated Press credit stamp, the final exclamation point for an offering that due to its Goudey baseball card pedigree, rightfully earns serious attention from the most elite enthusiasts. Along with the "Rajah's" arguable standing as baseball's all-time 2nd baseman via his unfathomable .358 lifetime batting average, this masterpiece's aforementioned status as the original image utilized for Hornsby's 1933 Goudey #188 subject places it as a centerpiece attraction for any esteemed photo collection!
