I have always looked forward to Yee's auctions. I dabble in vintage baseball photos compared to many others here my photo collection is very pedestrian. Nonetheless, I enjoy window shopping Yee's offerings despite never being a realistic threat to land a significant photo. However, I must admit that I find a number of his current items a bit macabre. Do others truly collect images depicting crime scenes, birth defects,survivors of the holocaust, and burn victims from Hiroshima? I have to admit that such items have served to dampen my zeal as I search through this current auction. Perhaps I'm overly sensitive or conservative but I find such things to be in poor taste and offensive. I think I will stick with innocuous pretty baseball pictures. Thankfully he still has a nice selection of those.
