Henry Yee Dec. Auction pickups
Happy holidays to everyone on net54!
I managed to win four great photos in the current Dec. Henry Yee Auction. Here they are: 1) GREAT Allie Reynolds photo shot prior to him starting game 1 of the 1949 World Series. "Super Chief" Allie Reynolds hurled two no-hitters in 1951. I love the composition of this one with historic Yankee Stadium in the background. 2) 1942 NL All Star pitching staff including Johnny Vander Meer, Whit Wyatt of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Claude Passeau of the Chicago Cubs and Mort Cooper of the St. Louis Cardinals. 3) Monte Pearson 1937 Yankees photo. Curveball specialist Monte Pearson hurled the first no-hitter ever thrown at historic Yankee Stadium in 1938. 4) Rex Barney circa 1948 photo. Fastballer Barney hurled a no-hitter in 1948 for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Please share some of yours! It seems to me that this auction was PACKED with good photos.

There were so many images I liked that I spread out my snipes to thin and lost a lot more than I won. Of the snipes that went through I lost 9 and won 3. If I could have stayed up to watch what I was winning and what I wasn't maybe I could have put higher bids towards ones that I just missed out on by a couple of bids (obviously I have no idea how high the high bidder's bid went).
Here are the three I did win though: The Landis was the only one that I went into with every effort to win with a Max bid more than double my winning bid. I have really wanted a Landis smiling photo, also I love vintage children photos so this really hit both of those. Then a couple non traditional DiMaggio photos as well: Christmas with the DiMaggios I liked the caption on this one more than the image itself, if there wasn't a caption I probably wouldn't have bought it. It just shows how far security has come at the stadiums.

Leon....
That was probably my favorite photo in the entire offering. Just a killer team shot with tons more personality than the typical posed version. I would kill for one of those Jackets... wonder if even a single one has survived? Congrats! |

I think I probably overpaid just a little but when would I see another? And I think, without going back, there were 3 other bidders right at or above 1500. I had no earthly idea where it would end. I was hoping to get it for less, of course. And those are some other great images shown. All of those pictures are really fantastic. Way to go, guys.v Henry had some nice photos as he usually does.
