Your Best Pickup of 2012

[Ulidia]

Baseball-wise, I collect Yankees images from the 1920s and 1930s. I had a very productive year (next year will be less so).

These are probably my two favourite pick-ups of this year and for very different reasons. One is the Yankees' squad pictured at Boston in April 1924 (presumably one of their first images as World Champions) and the other is of Joe DiMaggio in 1938.

Wowsers.. Wonderful photos! "Clout" aka jimmy will love that DiMaggio. The 1924 Yankee image is nothing less than superb with a young gehrig to boot! Congrats!

Thanks. I might have paid a bit too much for the 1924 Yankees one but just fell in love with the image and decided to go for it. Yes, young Gehrig in the second left in the bottom row. There's at least one Yankees' squad photo from 1923 with Gehrig in it but it's an early image of him and great to see the Yankees' lining up for their first every league game as World Champs.


The DiMaggio photo wasn't expensive but case of right time, right place Love the image and have always had an interest in DiMaggio as he's probably the closest thing to a baseball icon I've had. I've done well with both Gehrig and DiMaggio images this year.
