Fantastic collection of 15 5" x 7" Paul Thompson Type 1 portraits featuring the World Champion 1922 New York Giants. The 1922 World Series culminated in the second straight defeat of the New York Yankees by the Giants in the Fall Classic, though the Yankees would have their revenge in 1923. As a group these photos present beautifully and are clean and bright on both sides. Verso of all examples include handwritten identifications of each player along with large Paul Thompson stamping. Note that George Kelly's photo is missing a piece from the bottom border. Players included: Jessie Barnes, Clancy (unknown player), Bill Cunningham, Alex Gaston, Heinie Groh, Bud Heine (1 career game), George Kelly (HOF), Art Nehf, Johnny Rawlings, Rosy Ryan, Red Shea, Ralph Shinners, Earl Smith (2 different), Frank Snyder. These photos are fresh to the hobby and originate from the archives of Photo File, Inc. where they have been stored for several decades until this offering. Guaranteed Type 1.
