Offered are a pair of "International News" original news service photos featuring the hand of some of the greatest catchers in the game in 1954: Roy Campanella, Yogi Berra, Wes Westrum and Jim Hegan. Both 7 x 9 inch photos have the period "International News" stampings on the reverse, and the Berra/Hegan photo presents with its original paper caption still in place. "Their claim to fame is their hands" is the title on the long caption. They would likely be considered Type I photos. The photos have tape residue and pencil writing on the fronts, as well as corner paper loss. Excellent condition overall.
