Got them back from PSA recently and was happy that 1)they came back authentic and 2) they actually were given numerical grades with having significant paper loss on the backs...I was 99.9% sure they were real, but just nice having it confirmed and encapsulated.

The Ralph Terry 1963 Topps Peel Off completes the Yankees for this insert set. Didn't realize that there was a Terry until recently!
The Lefty Gomez is a 1934 Butterfinger. Though not in great shape, it is a sample I wanted in my collection. These are almost 8x10 size.

Got another Diamond Stars card, primarily because of a % off deal. This gives me 83 total. I will try to purchase the 1936 cards whenever I decide to add any.

Spent my Christmas money on a very clean signature for my Carl Lundgren collection - Cubs pitcher from 1902-1909 and died young in 1934, so tough and expensive auto to find. He was a baseball coach and later athletic director at the University of Illinois, and this is a Big 10 intercollegiate contract he signed as the A.D. in 1931.

Not a card, but an original candid fan photo, dating sometime between 1954 and 1957. Printed on period Kodak deckle edge paper. Don Zimmer heads to the dugout after batting practice at Ebbets Field.

Is there any writing on the back of the photo ?

No writing on photo. There is a tiny "57" stamped on front, and that may be the year. On back is a stamp "J 182" that is probably a position number from development. I found a scholarly document online that is very comprehensive about different deckle edge photos ( https://digital.library.ryerson.ca/...eckle_edge_in_the_North_American_snapshot.pdf), and can say my photo is a Kodak Ornamental Deckle Edge, which was first introduced in 1956. Zimmer played in Brooklyn 1954-1957. So photo was taken either in 56 or 57, and with the "57" stamp, I'd lean towards 1957. Don't see any clues in the photo that would help identify it further.
