I picked up these three photos for what I thought were incredible prices, the Gehrig especially since it is when the second earliest known photograph of him and the Mantle is the 500th home run.

JoeyF1981, great Gehrig Burke photo, well done on that pick up, I probably cost you a few dollars on that!

Had my eye on this one, but forgot to bid. Very surprised it went so low:

I thought in general the prices went very low and I am guessing it was the Super Bowl going on at the same time as the closing. Just a guess

I know its a type 4 but had to pick this up

My only win.
Lou with Benny Bengough at Lou's house. I have another from the same shoot.

I have to say that I was very surprised by the low prices realized for a lot of these pictures. It's especially surprising considering Henry's auctions tend to get unheard of prices. I can't help but wonder if this is just a blip or a retraction of the pricing due to the influx of the volumes of pictures flooding the market now. I know one auction doesn't make a trend, but when prime photos like the Burke Gehrig that Joey won and the rookie Gehrig that Bob won only sold for those prices it makes me scratch my head.

Congrats to both of you on fantastic pickups.

Bob,
I'm curious. You stated that was the second earliest photo of Gehrig. What did you mean? I have seen multiple of him as a child in high school as wall as multiple of him in college playing baseball and football. I have also seen one of Lou as part of the Hartford team. If you're talking about second earliest as a Yankee, what other photo are you thinking of as being first? Both your copy and mine have a slug dated 3/14/23. Additionally yours is stamped 3/18/24. Mine is not stamped. I can't recall a different picture depicting Lou as a Yankee being dated prior to either of these photos.
Best,
Mark

Very nice pick-up mark...I was actually thinking about bidding on that one. Do you think I got a good deal on the burke gehrig? I wonder if it didnt go for more because of the condition. Henry had some awesome stuff this time around

Hey Mark, I mentioned it earlier in my thread that I thought that the Super Bowl had something to do with the prices as they were coinciding with each other. I had placed several snipes and forgot about the auctions ending until I got notified by my iPhone.

As for the Gehrig, you can use this as a reference as I did:
http://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com...nia-collector/ Jimmy is one of the foremost experts in Gehrig photos today and I trust his opinion on the Gehrig photo that I had won.

I am pretty sure that the earliest photo of Gehrig in a Yankee's uniform is listed on Jimmy's site as well and can be viewed at: http://sportscollectorsdaily.ning.co...the-iron-horse .

Good conversation stuff mark, thanks for asking!

Bob
