I'll kick it off with a trio of vintage original TYPE I photographs (since that's mostly what I collect).

That Iron Horse was one healthy looking SOB. Very nice photos.

There are very few times that this particular card is so relevent so pardon the interruption with a "card". This Sports Co. of America Ruth is fairly common by normal standards, a bit scarce but still can be found. The reason this is probably 100x more rare is that it has a copyright of 1927 instead of the normal (for this series) 1926 copyright date. You can see it on the lower left of the back. I can only think of one series (E126), besides maybe a strip card, that was produced with Ruth in 1927. So here is his 1927 (only 2-3 known) Sports Co of America card...

Here is a 1927 New York Chauffeur's license. Sources close to me say it was worn by a cab driver who picked up Babe Ruth and four of his girlfriends after a World Series game for a night on the town, then took Gehrig and his Mom out to dinner the next night, then drove Lazzeri and his wife to a party, and probably kept all the team unis in the trunk. In fact, this was probably pinned to the Babe's jersey and worn by the cabby to show off to his buddies and scam free beer. So when you think about it, this is some very serious collecting hardware. Any 1927 Yanks collection that is missing this piece has a significant hole that must cause hours of restless sleep. Despite all this historical significance, I am going to ALLOW the first person who emails me to steal it from my collection for $40 and GIVE them an opportunity to complete an otherwise shell of a collection

. I'm a giver, that's how I role...that and I need a little more cash to buy something that pales in comparison at the National.

Those 1927 photos are just stunning, Jimmy.

Lou from 1927

thekingofclout · #15 06-27-2009, 03:47 PM

It's uncanny how similar our taste is in baseball photographs Al. My Gehrig is from 1928 but I just had to post it...

batsballsbases · #16 06-27-2009, 04:39 PM

Jimmy your photos are amazing! We do seem to like the same photos.
Here is another of Lou. It always seems everyone loves Lou+ Babe but I have alot of the other 27 yankees if I get a chance I will post them

thekingofclout · #17 06-27-2009, 05:43 PM

Sorry guys. This will be the last one I post unless it's from '27.

Al, this is from Gehrig's 2,000 consecutive game played...

Nice thread. This piece has been hanging in
my office for years. I actually read it
once in a great while. Haven't seen
too many of these but I am sure others
are out there. Brittle as can be.

The King of Clout goes yard in Game 4 of the 1927 World Series...

Moments later, Babe is greeting by Gehrig at home with a smack on the keister with his bat. I guess this could be the 1927 version of the low five...

And a ticket stub to said game. Thanks to all for posting such wonderful items on this thread. Sincerely, Jimmy

This is one of my favorite Yankees photos--you really get to see just how tiny Miller Huggins was. It dates to 1927 and was sold in the Heritage Auctions May 2007 Signature Auction:

1927 RUTH AND GEHRIG TYPE 1 PHOTO

This was the first time I spent over 3k for anything other than an automobile or a house. I purchased this in Henry Yee's Ebay Auction in 2008. I am very happy I added this to my collection.

You got it for a very good price as another example of this famous & superlative image sold in a Lelands auction for over Ten Grand a few years ago.

Now I know your sitting on a bunch of tremendous TYPE I photos Ben... Let's see em!

I've posted plenty of different threads over the last several months and I'm sure you have photos that fit into just about everyone of them. Bring em Dude.

A couple of Mid-Week Pictorial covers from 1920 and 1923

Forever Young · #36 12-26-2009, 11:30 AM

Ok Jimmy...you asked for it man

This one below I just love. Obviously, I would rather have one without every player's name written in ink but man..history rules. This image is just fantastic..crystal clear. I bought this for 35 dollars; (1%) of the what I spent for the Ruth/Gehrig image below. I like them equally as well with the price factored in. This just shows that one does not have to sell the farm to enjoy this fantastic hobby(own something virtually impossible to find even with unlimited resources). "All you need is love".

David Atkatz · #37 12-26-2009, 08:37 PM

You've got yourself two Grabowskis there, Ben.

jacksons · #38 01-05-2010, 01:41 PM

Technically originating from 1926, but close enough.

The scan does the actual photo no justice...the photo is crystal clear.
I'll try to get a better scan in here.

Combs, the Bam, and Meusel. Long Bob looking as surly and disinterested as ever...

GKreindler · #39 01-05-2010, 03:36 PM

That shot's KILLER jacksons. Wonderful pick-up.

1929 Penn State Band photo at Yankee Stadium signed by a few guys you've probably heard of. Sigs of modern guys added later, but likely vintage to around when they were playing/managing(Durocher).
Glass broke when we moved. Haven't had a place to hang it yet, so didn't get it fixed.

Ladder7 · #42 01-10-2010, 09:38 AM

Mark, That's a unique shot. Beautius! I get UV glass from our local craft store. It's a bit more but worth it.

Sept 8, 1927;

Lordstan · #43 01-10-2010, 10:20 AM

Steve,
Thanks. I wish I knew the story behind the pic and who got them to sign it to the band, etc. Unfortunately, I bought it so long ago, the story is likely lost.

It was the top of the line UV glass. Unfortunately, not unbreakable.

Your pic should be used for the Jan edition of What's my caption. Jimmy usually posts it. I could think up a few lines.

Heritage Sports · #44 01-11-2010, 10:23 AM

This is probably my favorite photo of Ruth and Gehrig. It came through Heritage as part of the Casey Stengel Collection.

GKreindler · #45 01-11-2010, 10:25 AM

Jonathan - KILLER shot. The expression on Gehrig's face is priceless. And what a memento for that child as she grew up (that is, if she knew about the photograph)!
