1921 Large detailed posed action photo of Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Walter Schmidt in full uniform and showing his catching stance before the start of a game. This is a unique new discovery that is being offered here for the first time ever and it presents well with an incredible handwritten story on the back about Schmidt by the photographer who took the photo. Despite some creases and pinholes from editorial use, it is one of the best photographs of a deadball era catcher we have ever handled! Photo has some artistic tracing from editorial use as well which is cool and it is being offered here for the first time ever, fresh out of a newspaper archive!
