Hank Greenberg negative...

Here's a way you might be able to track it down-

If you remember when the auction ended you can search through his feedback from around that time- it always lists what the item was that the feedback comment is referring to- if the buyer left him feedback it will be there and you'll be able to click on the persons ebay name and send them a message.

I see he's got a lot of feedback though so it may take a bit of digging...

Alright, so it's been five years since this thread was bumped...I thought I'd try to bring it back to life in the hopes that somebody out there was able to obtain negatives from the Detroit News at some point.

Here are some other examples I'd love to find high-res scans for:

Love this shot of Landis and Medwick. Not only a great photo but a significant event in baseball history captured.

I have some negatives from the Detroit archive. Not the ones you are looking for but there are some including a different Greenberg if you want me to look for you at what we have.

Absolutely, Rhys! If it's cool with you, I mean.

Andrew, if I can pull it off, that Greenberg would be killer. There are a couple of other players from the collection in a similar motif, including a really nice Gehringer. Every single image from that collection was an absolute beaut.

Andrew A, agreed!!! I love how Landis is almost mimicking an umpire giving the thumbs out call.

I will look through the stack of glass negatives from Detroit I have and see who is in there for you.
