One Of A Kind Photos???

 Over the years I have purchased some photos that people took of Bill Virdon. I am guessing most of these are taken by fans and are one of a kind.

I like the old timey deckle edge photos.  That is probably what started me on the "photo rabbit-hole" to begin with.  I purchased this as a 1950s photo.  However in the 50s the Pirates didn't have numbers on the front of their jerseys.  Numbers on the front didn't start in 1962.  That places this photo between 1962 and 1965, as 1965 was the last year he wore #18.

This one was also labeled as 1950s photo.  While I don't have any way to disprove that, it came from the same seller as the other photo incorrectly labeled 50s and he looks a little older here so I am guessing it is 60s also.  Also, I think that car in the background is a 1951 or 1952 Chevy DeLuxe and it looks kind of old when this was taken.

I know what your thinking, a graded photo, why?  I don't know why I just bought it that way.  I would free him but it is an odd size and I don't really have a good way to protect it so he remains incased.  I like how this one has the date printed on it.  This could well be a fan photo as it looks like it was taken from the stands.

This photo is from 1968 Spring Training.  That was the only year he wore #4.  

This is the latest photo I purchased.  It is from the 1958 season and this one is also probably taken by a fan.  I bought it as a three piece lot including Frank Thomas and Roman Mejias.  I resold the extra two photos to try to recap some of the money I had to spend to get this.  It was my first eBay sale in over 20 years and it did spectacularly awful. I thought I could recoup at least half of what I spent but I only got like a third back and had to pay the shipping on top of that.  

Lastly, because it is a yankees photo is a 1974 Spring Training photo.  This one looks like it was taken outside of a residential home. Luckily this is labeled 74 on the edge or I would have had to guess 74 or 75 and never know for sure.
