1 Lot
 Lot 7. 2 Vintage Photos of a 1920s Bacharach Giants Negro Leagues Player – Said to by Jimmy Shields. The Atlantic City Bacharach Giants played as an independent team and in various Negro Leagues from 1923-34. Two 2 ½” x 3 ½” sepia photos capture a player in uniform. “Bacharach Giants” is clearly visible on the front of his uniform in one photo. The player appears in a pitching pose in the second photo. He signed one photo, and the autograph appears to read “James Shields.” In 1928 and 1929, Shields pitched for the team. Both photos have scrapbook residue on the back, as well as a “Novox Print” stamp by a Washington, D.C., studio. The signed photo has a clipped lower right corner. We cannot guarantee that the player is Shields. Bacharach Giants’ photos are very scarce.
Winning Bid $55.
