Although the "Pine Tar Game" is still fresh in many of our memories, original TYPE I photographs of Brett going completely nuts are almost non-existent, as most of the photo services had been phasing out wirephotos, and by 1982 Laserphoto II was introduced.

Incredibly, this is the first of any TYPE photo that I've seen of this highlight mainstay...

I remember watching that game with my mom. Indelible memory, along with the 78 playoff. Thaks for sharing the awesome package, Jimmy.

i was watching that game at my grandparent's house (it was one of our italian sunday dinners)...none of us could believe how nuts he went!...

I am not a Yankees fan (proud Mets fan who has taken his lumps over the years) but I happened to be watching that game and remember it like it was yesterday.

Great photo Jimmy.

Mark: Your signed '34 Goudey collection is very impressive and this is a particularly fine addition, a well placed sig on a good looking card.

PS. I owe you an e-mail and will respond later today.

Thanks for the kind words David.
It was a regular old set that I started because I collected Lou Gehrig items. Somewhere along the ride, I got a few that were signed through the mail, but the passion started with the Pinky Higgins card. 1986, I think, in a show in Cincinatti. I paid $30 for it. I decided that day to go with signed cards from that point on. The process has progressed in 2 parts. First 25 or so from 1979-1992. Next 38 2002-present.
It's always exciting to find a new one.
Funny story about this card. I lost auctions for this card twice in the past 3yrs with bids over $200. I won this one for $28. As I learned from my father..."Be patient. If you see one, you'll likely likely see another." Not always true with some of the incredible stuff many people on the board collect, but works for most things.

PS: No rush on the email. Life is busy. Whenever you can is fine. I'm not going anywhere.
