Thrilled that you got that, David.

I was chasing the Temple Cup print for a while, but chickened out late. More stuff tomorrow.

Open the large image on your screen, hit the print screen key on your keyboard, then open up Paint, a graphics program, Word, something, and hit control v to paste the image.

Happy to help. I should have mentioned that the photo editing programs will also allow you to crop the screen shot down to just the relevant auction details or to only the photo (the more of your screen the image fills up when you "print screen" the better the image will be). You can crop in Word too by left clicking the image once, then right click, choose the crop icon, and drag the corners of the image to the size you want.

Also - great items! I am loving all of these Horner cabinets. I need to pick one of those up some day.

Man oh man I was drooling over this one. Congrats to the winner. $15k sounds good when you compare to the Carolina Spinners going for $37k.

Greenville Spinners was his first professional team and a much nicer photo
He is also buried in Greenville. VM photo is great also
Wonder why those two reappeared in this auction when they were " sold" last October?

Same with the 1909 Philadelphia photo (who won it??) being relisted.

Think the same guy went after the key Jackson pieces last year and didn't pay.

Would be proud to own any of the three photos.

The Mills photo is awesome, but I liked the Spinners cabinet much more also. As Craig said, the Spinners were Jackson's first professional team (Class D, I believe) which is super important to many, including me. I also believe that that was where he earned his nickname.

So if you use their in house shipping you don't have to pay NY sales tax. If you pick up or use a third party shipper, you have to pay NY sales tax.

Gah?

Thanks AJ. Was happy to win the Vic Mills as I have the postcard to make a great companion piece with. I was under bidder in the Spinners Cabinet and thought that was a great item as well! And congrats on great pickups!

Craig, I noticed both Jackson items being relisted as well and when I spoke to a rep at Christies they said a bidder reneged on those items. This is why I question a week ago about how Christies determines what kind of budget to allow bidders.

Ben, love the La Azura Photo and let me know when you are done with it! Thank you for sharing where that image came from because I knew it look familiar and couldn't think where I've seen it before. Now I know.

I'm curious who I got in a bidding war with over the 1910 Cobb in Cuba postcard? I'm glad to see other "crazed bidders" out there like me. ��

I don't think you could go wrong with any lot from that auction as many of those items belong in a museum.

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

Jay it was you and I toe to toe on the Vic Mills. Glad you got it. I was sweating a little and couldn't pull the trigger one more time.

David I was also in on that Speaker photo and was going to add it to the one I got during last auction. If you ever want to part with it let me know!

I also loved the stand alone Cobb photo with the amazing clarity. Think it went for $3k? It was sweet! Anyone here win it?

reneged? with all that goes on,you unfortunately have to wonder if they were shills that accidentally won. Christie's and Sotheby's, even though they're the most famous, don't exactly have squeaky clean histories either. There's an American Greed about them too.

Thank you, congrats on your pickup as well. There were lots of bargains to be had. I picked up 3 items not described as card images(kind of an important thing to miss in the current market). This Cobb is a monster IMO.

Also, Christies gave no guarantee on time periods or the way in which the photos were developed(everything sold as is) so I believe that potentially hurt some of the pieces. I know for sure that they had issues with the last auction(things not original including a 1917 white sox photo/example). I wonder if some reneged items actually means "not what I thought it was". 4 and 5 figures was just too much for me(for example) to risk.

I think just like the last auction, you will have very very happy people and some that are disappointed once they receive their items. I took the conservative approach with guaranteed happiness. I know the scans(as said earlier) were not very good so I expect everything I get to look better in person.

There are a lot Net54 guys that bought in Christies for good reason. Photos have been promoted here for a long time by long time collectors and dealers so there is a good pool here. There are not a lot of other places to talk photos in depth in large numbers. I am happy to see so many great items go to members. Again... that Joe Wood though..damn... If it didn't go to such a good home I would be very disappointed. Great stuff everyone(as stated above-you can't go wrong with this stuff posted).
