December 2011 Pick-Ups

I was able to trade for another original photograph of the '27 Yanks to replace the one I traded to my good friend Mark/lordstan as part of our epic Ruth & Gehrig trade of last summer. I intend to hang on to this one, but you just never know...

Great photo Jimmy- congrats!

+1 Jimmy - great 'hats off' shot. Wonder if Babe stuck his chewing gum right in his hair prior to the photo?

[thekingofclout]

Good Call Scott. Underwood & Underwood did the hats off version. I was once the underbidder on that famous Ruth/Conlon photo with the Babe's wad of gum right on top of the button! And what's really great about that image is that the Bambino looked as serious as you'll ever see him.

Anybody else got any>?

I have a few photos that are in transit right now, including a very nice shot of a super young Mel Ott, so I'll have to hold off on posting those until they're in hand.

But, as per Jimmy's Conlon claim, this is an in-progress for a fellow board member:



If you didn't win that original, I can't even imagine what it really went for!!
