I've shown this one once before, but I love this photo of Johnny Vandermeer and a little girl at Ebbetts Field circa 1941. |

I picked this one up off ebay.
I'm not sure if I should call this a type 2 or 4, and would like some opinions. The earliest date stamp combined with the paper mean the pic was not printed near the time of the even, Hence type 2 or 4. The thing that trips me up is the detail in the picture. If the print is from the original neg, it would be a 2. If from a copy negative, a type 4. One of the things that really drew me to it was the image quality. It certainly doesn't look blurry, like a typical copy negative print. The price was right, so it isn't that important to me that it has to be a type 2. Any opinions?

Was the trophy he received for winning a batting championship, or what was the occasion if you know? Last edited by Scott Garner; 07-01-2012 at 02:44 PM. |

After a little investigation, I think it is him getting his batting championship trophy.
In 1942 he won the batting Championship with the Boston Braves. In April 1943, he was traded to the NY Giants for Hugh Poland and Connie Ryan. The first game of the year was against the Brooklyn Dodgers, followed by 5 against Boston and another 4 against Brooklyn (some funky scheduling). The Giants finished the year 55-98 in 8th, 49.5 games behind. It was commonplace, at that time, for players to receive awards the first game of the next year. Based on the uniform, it certainly appears to be c/w 1943 Giants. So, put all this together, and I think the pic is opening day 1943 showing Lombardi getting his 1942 Batting Championship award. BTW Scott, he was huge! Mark

I looked at yours a couple of days ago to compare. I think it's pretty close. I focused on 3 spots. I looked at the pinstripes, the forehead, and the thumb of the hand by his face. My pic's pinstripes a crisp and sharp as are yours. Both foreheads have great detail in the wrinkles. Mine has more brightness washout by his hairline. Is this because it's a picture of a picture or differences in the way the pictures were developed? I don't know. In your pic, the wrinkles on the joint of his thumb aren't very clear. On mine, you can each one. How could a copy image have more detail than the original? As I said, it doesn't matter to me as a collector which it is, I am just looking for some education on this. David, This is a great painting. I think you showed a pic of this on your wall, a couple years ago. How big is it? Best, Mark
