Charles Conlon Estate
Posted By: <b>David</b><p>Does anyone know the contact info for the Charles Conlon estate. I was asked about how to obtain a copy of one of his photos, and I know that the Conlon estate or whomever handles his property occasionally releases modern reprints of his photos.<BR><BR>Otherwise, the desired photo is the famous one of Cobb sliding into third base-- and if anyone has an idea how to get a copy, let me know.<BR><BR>This person had already contacte The Sporting News, where Colon was an editor, and they told him that they don't release images to the general public<BR><BR>Thank in advance

Posted By: <b>Julie Vognar</b><p>a private conmpany which went broke in 1995. oR AFTER 1995. They are great b+w commemorative baseball cards with fantastic stuff on the back. Big, not-so-high-ticket dealers sometimes adcvertise them. Kit Young, Fritsch.<BR><BR>Thomas Appleby<BR>P.O. Box 568<BR>Trenton, MI 48183<BR><BR>sells the 5 series. I would not by a 1995 series--it's only about 100 cards, for $200,again, even though it is very hard to find. I think it was a mistake to pay that much for a commerative card series. The other series are 300+ cards each, and some come in beautiful tin boxes. And the 1993 series SOMETIMES comes with 6 1992 autographed cards (first thing i won since i won the door prize at a Boy Sciout dance in 1946). "Ty Cobb Stesls Third" is of course among them.<BR><BR>I got 9-10 original Conlon photos at auctions--but haven't seen any lately. <BR><BR> Julie
