RMY auction pickups

[Lordstan]

Does anyone know what time that bad boy ended? I went to bed after 3 and it was still going strong with new bids every minute or so.

I won a few Gehrig's which I'll post shortly.
Anyone else here get anything? Let's see them.

This one had me at hello

Eric,

I saw that one too. That is absolutely beautiful.
If I collected all Yankees and not just Gehrig, I would've been all over that one as well.

After starting a thread two years ago trying to gain more knowledge on vintage sports photography I bought 3 wire photos at that time but hadn't done anything in this area since. I finally signed up for RMY this time around and found myself unable to decide what images to focus on. In the end I was glad to make these the first images to my collection since that post:

Cochrane Rookie:


Musial greeted by Jackie Robinson:


...And a nice Bobby Wallace image:

Hung in on 3 items until the 2 o`clock area. Woke up today winning the 1946 Montreal Royals Robinson composite photo. Hoping to maybe mate it with an auto I`ve seen on the B S T board this past year!

I bid on 8 photos, was the under bidder in 6.
Congrats to Rhys as it seemed to me that realized prices were pretty strong.

Here is my sole win. I really like the composition of this photo of Bob Feller posing for photographers at Cleveland Stadium after returning from the Navy in WWII. This will make a nice complimentary piece to a scored program and ticket stub that I have to Feller's 1st game back. This photo was taken one day before Feller returned the mound, to once again confound major league hitters...

Rapid Robert did not disappoint as he got the win after being gone for 44 months. Some guys just have talent!

Scott that Feller compliments those items well. In an effort to contain myself I decided to go after one photo with any serious intent. I always seem to spread myself too thin in these extravaganzas by courting multiple beauties only to go home alone. I have no idea what time this party ended but I did place my winning bid around closing time (2:00AM PST) and woke up with a keeper and still had money left in my pocket

Scott,
It would be pretty cool if you could find a copy of one the pictures the photographers pictured took. You would have a nice set.
Congrats,
Mark

Ben,
That is a really nice Ruth. Definitely a historic moment in time.
Congrats on your win.

Thanks for your kind words. I love the pictures of Lou that show the big smile and his human side.
Mark
