FS-Press & Other photo lot, including Ruth, Ott, Mcgraw, Paige & Campy
1-Satchell Paige Vintage Indians team picture pack (big) and on a heavier paper stock than you would expect... there is some wear to the top and bottom borders (see scan) which would easily matt out if you framed this... Great period piece that would go great with a paige autographed index card or cut...
2-1930's wire photo including Mel ott and a very old John Mcgraw... this one is old, and in pretty rough shape... there is a chunk missing (which I have that could be carefully taped back).. not sure what the subject matter is, but it appears that both ott and mcgraw are recieving congratulatory wreaths from a bunch of gentleman in wreaths... they appear to be on a baseball diamond... very cool image...
3-Feb 1947 Babe ruth wire photo
captio nreads that ruth wasted away to 189lbs after 3 months in french hospital recovering from a neck operation. Ruth is tipping his cap to onlookers and is wearing his famous camelskin overcoat... this photo has been trimmed but presents very well
4-Roy Campanella international news photo of campy being put onto a gurney after being extracted from his vehicle during that awful accident.. the date on the bottom of the piece of papaer is 1.28.58 but based on the caption I feel the photo may have been earlier as it state he suffered a broken neck, leg and internal industries... Creepy image that I have never seen, and would rather not see again...
