Thank you Barry and Scott.
Although there is no way it can be earlier than 1923 with my photo, I have noticed that a couple of the portraits were form 1922..so I do see what you are saying Scott.

Graig.. WOW.. thanks for the time you put into this! You da man!

Jimmy is so 'Yankee-huge' with memorabilia, I wouldn't be surprised if he is holding back on us.

I'm an Angels fan at heart, Scott... but what I collect is dead Yankees. However, I am holding out on my Beatles stuff.

Odd how that works - vintage vs modern collecting, especially when you grew up rooting for one of the non-16...says an Astros fan.
