Good glove photos are tough to find

Colorized photo of Dazzy Vance. The glove is interesting

The glove is an open back model with a strap and buckle fastener. The glove incorporates a flap of leather under the buckle. That's something you just don't often see. I looked through JD's site and couldn't find one. Plenty of V and U notch buckle backs and open back gloves with exposed buckles but nothing like the glove Vance is wearing.

Great stuff Mike. Please keep 'em coming. Came across this one. A tipped finger catchers glove and throwing hand glove, wow! The photo is from a Bangor, ME studio.

Thanks for the encouragement Jim. The photo is great, just the type I look for.

I could look at these all day long Mike. Here's another great set of catchers gloves! It came up in my OneDrive memories. Maybe it was referenced before.

Sorry, keep struggling to get the pics under the 256K file size limitation without shrinking them so much in size. I can't keep them large and get under 256K. You can still click on the image to see a larger one. Are you hosting your images elsewhere and pointing to them via a URL? Talk to me Maestro.

That's a nice photo Jim, Haven't seen it before. The forum has its own restrictions of 256 resolution and no more than 1200 pixels W or H. The hosting sites are a whole nother animal. For the larger images, I use my Dell computer to resize an image. I open the image via MS photos. I choose a resolution just under 256 and about 700-750 pixels across. anything more than about 775 pixels across and the forum formatting will crop it. I use the hosting site Imgur. It has share links specifically designed to work with phpBB. The link is not really a URL. The image is just copied and pasted to the forum reply window.
