Default Movie Stills

Is there any reason for movie stills to be three-hole punched? Any good reason? I imagine this would impact value, obviously.

Got any baseball (or general) movie stills you want to show off? Lordstan just posted some Gehrig beauties in the May pickup thread!

No legitimate issuer reason; someone wanted to store them in a notebook.

Do you mean a lobby card or a still? Some lobby cards:

Gene Tunney in The Fighting Marine



Jim Jeffries in They Never Come Back



Joe Louis in Joe Palooka, Champ



Here is a still from the Benny Leonard film Flying Fists



and another one from the Humphrey Bogart/Joe Walcott/Max Baer film The Harder They Fall

Default 1927 babe comes home

Here is a TYPE 1 from "The Babe Comes Home" that I recently added to my collection. The shot is incredible to me in that it is actually Ruth flying through the air with the greatest of ease. No stunt double here..it's a bird, it's a plane..it's SUPER BABE. I can see a cape on him in this one.
It was also used for is frojoy card.

Sounds like you have might a studio file copy. They would keep binders full of images for reference during the filming of movies and then they just got trashed or stored away but many have hit the market. They are "damaged" but some people get into them.

It could be something like that or just someone after the fact storing them. Three ring binders were very popular storage tools for anyone. I have seen many punched photos.
I have some from "home run derby" from the studio which were taken during the filming and stored away. I have also owned photos where I purchased a collection thst was kept with baseball cards and made holes in photo.

If you don't have provenance in any form from a studio, it is just a photo with 3 hole punches.

Either way, if it doesn't detract from the main image itself(on the border) if will not affect value as much as say a hole in a baseball card. Nor will it add value.

That said, here is another still from "Safe at home". I love this one.

Thanks for the information. In asking the question I learned I don't even know what differentiaties a still from a file copy from a lobby card. So much to learn. Babe soaring through the air is a sight to behold!

Here are a few from the 1938 movie Rawhide. Lou Gehrig starred with Smith Ballew. Most are movie stills, but some are promo shots and one is applying makeup for the movie.

I wish I was technical enough or had the patience to photoshop a cape on him. HA! Do you have any to share with us?

Babe Ruth plays an ice delivery boy? Classic. These are great.

Wow Mark, those are phenomenal. Love Lou's smile in the first one.

I'm working on it, Ben. I found myself looking for shots of the Baseball Furies from The Warriors. Prewar (Desert Storm). Haha.

The very basics since I'm far from an expert.

Lobby card - usually printed and on cardstock, a good deal larger than 8x10 (Too lazy to measure mine or look it up, plus it may have varied over the years or by studio etc) They were ads that were meant to be shown in the lobby of the theatre. Just like the posters of upcoming movies just smaller.

Publicity still. - Usually 8x10 and black and white until.....1990s? Not sure, but black and white way past when you'd maybe expect color. Sent out in sets in press packs that included some stills, a description, usually a list of stars, and also usually clip art advertisements. The ones shown that have the title and a bunch of information at the bottom as part of the photo are newer, ones with less info are usually older. With exceptions, I have had some TV ones from the 80's that are very plain but have an attached news release on the back. All stuff intended to be passed along to the press either directly or by the theater owner so the papers could run ads or maybe illustrate an article.

File stills - Stuff taken during production, either to make the promotional stills from, or perhaps to help with continuity, I think the Marilyn Monroe one shown is that sort. So they'd have a record of stuff like which side of a table a vase was on during yesterdays filming. Sort of embarrassing if you've put together multiple clips to make a scene and stuff is moving around on its own.
These also probably don't have readily understandable info written on them, if there's any at all.

There are also fan stills, simply photos taken from a film for sale to fans or some other purpose. (And maybe licensed maybe not. Image quality will usually be really good on licensed stuff, and the whole range on unlicensed.)

Personally I'd find the ones used in production more interesting, but that's just me.

Thanks, Steve. That's very helpful. And it answers a question I kept having about why Field of Dreams stills I came across were black and white.

Don't forget the re-releases. If a film becomes a cult favorite it was often re-released with new publicity materials made. Here is a lobby card from Monkey Business, a 1931 film, but it is actually from the re-release in 1949. The notation at the bottom says so:

I think the re-release material "usually" has the newer date on them, although that may not always be true. I did notice on the re-release of Pride of the Yankees (and what looks like on Monkey Business) when there are numbers like 142/300 etc that the re-release numbers are larger and darker than the original release counterparts. Don't know if that's the norm or not.

Try searching for "key book photo" or "keybook photo" and see if that is what you are referring to. This would be much different value-wise than a regular photo someone punched holes in for storing in their photo album or Trapper Keeper. (And by different, I mean that keybook photos are often more desirable whereas Joe-Schmoe-punched ones are less)

That's true Mike. The code is a telltale sign of a re-release.

Not sure what this is, as far as a keybook photo or not, but I liked it so I got it. Thanks for the info!
