Show your photo pickups from Heritage and Yee
 

Anyone pick anything up? There were some very strong prices in the Heritage Photo auction as well as hyee_auctions.

I picked up this Burke used for HOF plaque.

Ben,
No watermark? :D
Great photo! Congrats buddy

Great one, Joey.

Apparently I am getting old/slacking. National this year?

I'm currently working with over 500 1930's glass plate negatives from The Sun archives, which is a now defunct NYC newspaper. Imagine my surprise when over 50 original prints from The Sun archives popped up in the Yee auction.

At least four of the original photos being offered by Yee matched glass negatives I've got and I was fortunate enough to grab two of them. Will post pics later on.

Hey Ben. Love the Ruth!

I picked up a few things.

Thanks scott!

:mad: Outbid on the Thompson Cobb when I went to bed.....

I was going for the nicer Gehrig (there were two of the same photo in the auction) where he was twisting himself into the ground on a follow through swing.

What's going on in that bottom photo? You'd think someone just scored and it's a celebration at home plate, but then you see #3 isn't a fellow Yankee and a new probability emerges…perhaps a scuffle???

Edited to add: I just realized that #3 is indeed a Yankee, George Selkirk. It's weird how the number continued to be worn by other players, uninterrupted, until it was retired after the Babe died in 1948.

Darren, here's the back that explains it Gehrig acting not so Gehrig like! 1938 World Series

From Heritage. 1926 World's Series.

Very nice! I was underbidder on that one. Congrats

Thanks!

Yessir, I plan to definitely attend in Chicago...

Some of the prices were insane but thats the way it goes. Type 1 and Type 2 sales are gaining alot more popularity and the prices are reflecting that

Great photos!! Glad I have what I have :)

Fantastic.

Great photos guys. I was after the Mays 1954 WS catch but fell short...

I wish there was some registry or other resource that could give reliable info as to how many of these photos actually exist. The Mays photo is iconic. Museum piece. But are there 10 Type 1s? 23? 125? 500? 1000? I'm sure some people have a better feel for this than I do. Common sense would suggest the more important a photo is the more of them that were printed and the more of them that were preserved.

$4780 is insane!!! The shot isnt even clear and has a out of focus appearance. It may be a iconic shot but is it really a appealing image? Its a back shot thats out of focus.

That's sort of my point . . .anyone who shelled out that money I assume is presuming that this is a "rare" photo. Is it?

No picking on this iconic photo, but it is immediately recognized by every baseball fan.

Im sure theres plenty of copies out there but no way of knowing exactly how many.

Happy too have picked up this one in the last RMY :)

Great photos thank you for sharing ..... nothing for me :(

My pick up
 

Here is my pick up. This was used in the 1885 Harpers Weekly but I don't know what what week as I have only seen it cut out.

Getty Images has info on the photographer and says 1/1/1885 but I don't think thats right since some of the guys in the photo weren't on the team yet.

Brad, I believe the Harper's image is from October 17, 1885 issue.

Thanks! I appreciate the info. I would love to track an original down but if I can't a photo copy would be good to have too.

Edited: To say I found an original from the Harpers Weekly to go with the cabinet card.

Happy too have picked up this one in the last RMY

Great photo! Now I know who outbid me. I was just worried it was too small. But great image for sure.

I just received. It is amazing. Look at those jokers in the front..4 of the 8. The only WS that motley crew won. What a fortunate gem addition.

Sweet pic Ben!! Congrats on that one

Ben, that's a beautiful photo that landed in the right collection...congratulations

Thanks guys! Even the bat boy "front and center" is sporting some swag.

Got this to go with the cabinet.
 

Got a full Harpers Weekly to go with the cabinet. Thought it was really cool to have them together. I was happy it was the full sheet too.

Forgot how to upload images from my laptop. :(

You outbid me on that one at the last minute!! Great pickup!!

Heeee's baaack! Agreed...Love it Jimmy!
Very Historic!

Beautiful photo Joey

Thanks alot man

Nice pickup Joey!

Magnificent Gehrig photo.... you can just feel the strength and power in that grip :eek:

It is cool. Great pickup! Not sure why it is posted here as I don't think it was in heritage recently or yee and immedietly posted shortly after in june pickups. I could certainly be wrong though. Was it in one of the recent auctions? I wouldn't think I would miss it as it is very nice. I do think it sold in a past Heritage auction. In any case, of course it is for sale and can be found here.

Joey is not allowed to post in the BST so he posts them all here to let everyone know what is for sale. When he sells, he takes them down and that is why peeps get frustrated with all the removed pictures. Like one in this very thread in fact and all the ones in the May pickups.

But....I will give him a plug as it is a beauty! I want 5% if it sells Joey! :)

Thank you sir. It was a bit steep, but I was emotionally committed.:) seeing as this authentic example sold for about 8000 in card form, I felt comfortable forking out the benjamins for a much rarer type one original photo. At least that is how I justify things in my world! Ha!
