Large 1950's portrait photograph of young Hall of Fame umpire Al Barlick in uniform. This is the photograph that was used to make his 1955 Bowman rookie card and it is the only example of this image we have ever seen in any form and it presents beautifully, issued by the National League and stamped on the back. Note that the N.L. green stamp on the back is original to the 1950's while the "Baseball" stamp and Central Press stamp are both secondary from a later filing. Completely original to the 1950's and it is the only Vintage 1 example we have ever seen!
