Wow. This turned into something special
If anyone would like to talk photos(network) and are on fb, come on over. I will be happy to entertain and answer any questions people might have.

Ps:I am very pleased with the positive responses I have received. This, however, is exactly why I was hoping that it would not be posted here. Thanks again Gary
ha!
I will close with a couple pickups which are also posted on the facebook page above.
1) Henry Yee Auction Winning
A SUPERB TYPE 1 photo of Babe Ruth on deck starring down the pitcher ready to release hell on the ball. It is during the Yankees 1928 championship year.
Besides being a stunning image, what makes this particular photo most interesting is the bat boy Eddie Bennett kneeling behind his close friend like a loyal bird dog.
Eddie Bennett had a very hard life and died tragically. Considered a dwarf(caused by an injury as a baby), Bennett was considered a good luck charm as many of you know.
2) SEPTEMBER PICKUP
...from a fellow board member to add to my Rookie Babe Ruth TYPE 1 photo collection. It was one of the many great experiences/transactions I have had on the board. Thanks Phil Garry!
I am off to catch a flight..peace out dudes!
