Let the Bloodbath begin.. Show your Henry Yee winnings

[Lordstan]

I went after the 4 Gehrig Burke negatives of Lou with the kids as part of the knot Hole club promotion. The one I really wanted was the one with the little girl and I was able to get it.



Anybody else?

I got the 1910's Christy Mathewson Type 1 photo

Congrats Greg. That is a very nice pic at a great price. I was almost tempted to bid on it, but didn't.

So far some prices are very high and some were a little unexpectedly low.
I bid and won this one without planning to. I thought the bid was low, so I took a shot. Needless to say, I am ecstatic, considering the price.

I thought the steal of the auction so far was this WaJo type one for $380.
WOW. I hope somebody here got it.

Whoever won this got themselves quite a beauty:



I had the opportunity to work with a nice copy of it when I was doing my painting a few years back, and I just absolutely fell in love with the image.

That strong diagonal of the dugout step mixed with Ruth's gesture going in completely the other direction makes for such a dynamic shot. And all of the focus on Babe's outstretched hand, with the veins protruding from his forearm? That says it all.

Congrats to the winner, consignor and Henry!

Graig,
You're not kidding about that shot.
While I am partial to Lou, I think that is the finest picture in this current auction group.
Simply spectacular!
Congrats to whomever got it. Money well spent.

Congrats to whoever got this one for sure. I don't usually collect old photos. But I absolutely love this one and the Mathewson!

Congrats on picking up my avatar, sort of!

I saw that and put in a weak bid, but I blew all my money in REA to go higher. That is a great U&U image that was used in D381. It's a great pickup and I'm glad you got it!

Thanks Erick, pretty stoked to add it to my collection!

Greg,

Great pickup. I had considered bidding strongly for this as well...but ended up passing. Nice pickup.

Regards,

Mark,

That photo of Gehrig with the little girl is AWESOME!

[Lordstan]

Thanks Scott.
I thought the others from the same shoot were pretty nice as well, but I really wanted this negative. I bid what I thought was fair on the others, but went hard for this one.
Good luck on any you'll be chasing.

In my opinion, that is a beautiful image and the best of the Gehrig negatives in the auction.

I'm increasingly starting to take a more active interest in negatives - although admit to having limited, almost zero, knowledge at this stage. I also thought some of the Marvin Newman original slides of Mantle were breathtaking, although outside of my collecting sphere as post-WWII.

Haven't won anything so far - quite a few bids, mainly speculative but two or three that I might have a realistic chance of winning. Hopefully that's the case as has been a frustrating week or so for me on the baseball front (flew from London into NYC last weekend to watch the Yankees / Blue Jays game last Sunday that was rained off).

[Frozen in Time]

All the winnings posted thus far are just super. I may be mistaken, but is this the first full auction that Henry has had that just contained photos, slides and negatives and no memorabilia? I guess the hoard of Newman slides may explain the lack of any thing else.

I asked him about that, and he replied that he gave up his consignment business. He said that Ebay and PayPal fees have "priced him out". That's why it was photos only this time around (as well as for the next 3 auctions).

Henry did say that the Holiday auction (just before Christmas) would again contain some memorabilia. Bummer... not a big fan of ebay these days

[Lordstan]

Ciaran,
Thanks very much,
Good luck on you bidding, as long as your not bidding against me .

Mark and Craig,
Yeah I noticed the presence of only photo auctions as well. It's too bad, he had some of great items. The thing that really separated him was the condition of the items. Everything was always seemed to be in perfect/pristine condition.
Damn shame about ebay!

I don't understand - may just be my stupidity -but all these items are clearly not Henry's, so how does that work?

Maybe he did a John Rogers. Negotiated a price for the physical slides in exchange for a combination of money and digitized files of all the pictures. This could explain the disclaimer in the listing about not including the right to use the slides for profit.
