a few Stein, one Emmons, one Leifer, one Dorrill, one Thompson, one Van Oeyen,
one Wingfield, one Regan, one Brace---all framed!! And I'm still a type collector 1900-1939.
all the best and happy holidays,

I like that..very cool. What photographer do you like teh best so far? I actually think there is another thread already created for that but I'll ask anyway.

Steve and Bob.. love the additions. Dimaggio with bats and those bums are neat(drysdale is crystal).
John... before the CHICAGO Tribune opened, Hubbs was really really tough. They still are rare but just so happens right now a bunch came out at once. Great photos(I once owned them)

Mark... NONE?? Has this ever happened???

Gary, That Yankee photo is beautiful and I agree with Mark that you got a great buy. Congrats my friend.

i'm a Conlon man largely because I still love matching his photos to the baseball cards. Burke is second for the same reason. Both are obviously pre-war which
has always been my favorite era. Barney Stein is my favorite post-war. I love
the 'narratives' he sometimes write on the back of the photos. Great fun.
all the best,

This is the second Yee auction in a row where I walked away with only one item. Oh well I am still pleased with this 1974 image of Aaron. I liked the angle and the use of light coupled with the night sky as a background. I thought it was a very artistic composition. I was prepared to spend more and was happy to get it cheaply. It's not as nice as Ben's Hank Aaron but I'm very happy nonetheless.

I was also very surprised at some of the prices realized on a few of the type II photos.

Unfortunately, it has happened before. At least this time it was more self imposed. After getting the signed 1934 Cuyler, I didn't have the funds to large after any significant Gehrig pics.
Maybe next one.

Happy Holidays to everyone.
Best,
Mark

Ben - Thanks for the comments and info on the Hubbs photo. I'm not necessarily a Cubs fan but I remember Hubbs and his death. The purchase was more for the remembrance than anything else.

I also bought the Cobb auto. I'm just getting back into autographs and it seemed like a nice one. May have paid a bit too much; don't know.

I had a very spartan auction but, as always, enjoyed the chase.

However, I did manage to win one photo and, fittingly, it was of Tony Lazzeri. It adds to my growing collection of Lazzeri images (Lazzeri is the closest to a player that I'd concentrate on) and a fitting way to end what has been a good year for my vintage Yankees photo collection:
