I went out Saturday and picked these two pictures up in Rhode Island. The first is a 1904 pittsburgh baseball club sporting life team photo that has honus wagner in it. It's the same photo used in the priceless tobacco card. The second is my favorite it's a 1906 Providence baseball club sporting life. It's actually a team picture of the Providence clam diggers of 1905.

I picked them up for $60 apiece. I can't find much info on them but I know they are considered extremely scarce. I have only seen these twice. Once at the baseball hall of fame and the other on the tv show cash in the attic. The frames they are in are very, very old my guess is the 1800's. One of them has an old sporting goods advertisment that's worth more than I paid for them.

This is definitely the find of my lifetime!!!

Here's the Pittsburgh picture. Honus Wagner is in the middle under the center.
