As an old KC A's fan I gotta say - very cool Dave!

I have been remiss in updating with my additions.

1928 Spring Training



1929 snapshot



1930 in hospital

[Scott Garner]

Very nice, Mark! I especially like the vintage snapshot.

[david_l]

Yeah that snapshot is super dramatic. I love the lighting and shadows on Gehrig. Fantastic.

[JoeyFarino]

Kindred spirits with shallow pockets!

Nice. To me, this sort of memorabilia is as cool and fun as any other.

[Lordstan]

Thanks Scott, David, and Phil.
I really like them as well.

I prefer to think we have discerning taste

Two recent eBay photo purchases:

1) Sal "The Barber" Marglie original pitching action photo from his no-hitter on 9/25/56 against the Phillies.

2) An original snapshot of HOF Bob Feller warming up on the sidelines prior to what I believe is the 1st HOF game at Cooperstown in 1939. The 1st HOF game featured a combination of former MLB stars as well as current players.
In 1940 the HOF game format was changed to feature two different ML teams. Many thanks to net54's own Jim Stinson.

[Joe Hunter]

I was amazed to find this mid 19th century hand colored lithograph "Cricket Match, Tonebridge School" at an antique/ flea market store today. It measures, with the frame, 45"x 27". When I saw it I took a picture of it and sent it to my wife. When I told her it was $50, she said "get it". It has already replaced the hunting scene litho we had in our family room. In person, the colors are just stunning. Not early baseball, but close. Also, Dave: Those A's pieces are just outstanding! Love the KC A's, as well.

I am on phone and can't see very well.. looks similar to mine. It was actually on the boat on way back with his exposure in ww. I will find the slug later and post. So if it is the same photo session.. I assume he would be uncomfortable.

Here's the back of mine, Ben. The two poses (yours and mine) look nearly identical, VERY subtle differences, almost like the photos were taken within a second or two of each other.......

Thanks man...ya as soon as i saw it i made the guy a offer. 1950's Aaron photos are hard to find so i jumped on it

[mcgwirecom]

Made a trade for this. You don't see very many good used batting helemts.

Joey, Lance's point is that if you're going to remove the image so quickly, why post it at all???

[JoeyFarino]

I see his point It just cracks me up because I really think he goes through all the threads to see if i deleted anything so he can point it out.

[JoeyFarino]

And I have no idea how to post a photo thats not part of my photobucket

[Forever Young]

I feel fortunate to have been able to add this 1927 Gehrig by Charles Conlon with all the fixin's( conlon stamp, writing, signiture and used for a card). It has it all.

I don't have to go through all your threads when you kick off the monthly pick-ups thread, and then delete the image before the month's done.

I do not use photobucket so pardon me for asking. Is it cloud storage? If so, do you put photos there using your computer? If that is the case you could probably save your photos in a file on your hard drive. If you are scanning your photos it would be very easy to send them to a scan folder. The same would be true if you use a digital camera and download onto your computer. They can be sent to a folder.

Yep, when uploading your photos, there should be a picture file they go to?

From there, I send them (right click) to "MY Documents" and use "My Documents" to upload them to Net54 using Leon's "Manage Attachments" link below every thread/post you start or reply in.

I likely have a 100 picture files alone filled with likely a thousand pictures or more. I can easily open any file/folder, click on a pic and open it up to view or right click on it before enlarging it and send it to "My Documents" or wherever I choose.

[horzverti]

That Conlon Gehrig is decent...if you like that kind of thing. I guess it is ok.
