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
