I got the 1910's Christy Mathewson Type 1 photo

Congrats Greg. That is a very nice pic at a great price. I was almost tempted to bid on it, but didn't.

So far some prices are very high and some were a little unexpectedly low.
I bid and won this one without planning to. I thought the bid was low, so I took a shot. Needless to say, I am ecstatic, considering the price.

I thought the steal of the auction so far was this WaJo type one for $380.
WOW. I hope somebody here got it.

Whoever won this got themselves quite a beauty:



I had the opportunity to work with a nice copy of it when I was doing my painting a few years back, and I just absolutely fell in love with the image.

That strong diagonal of the dugout step mixed with Ruth's gesture going in completely the other direction makes for such a dynamic shot. And all of the focus on Babe's outstretched hand, with the veins protruding from his forearm? That says it all.

Congrats to the winner, consignor and Henry!

Graig,
You're not kidding about that shot.
While I am partial to Lou, I think that is the finest picture in this current auction group.
Simply spectacular!
Congrats to whomever got it. Money well spent.

Is ruth a yankee or sox in that picture. Doesn't look like a NY on the hat.

[Lordstan]

He is a Yankee. The photo is dated 1921.

Brock,
I thought the same thing, but a Red Sox player in pinstripes?

Congrats to whoever got this one for sure. I don't usually collect old photos. But I absolutely love this one and the Mathewson!

Congrats on picking up my avatar, sort of!

I saw that and put in a weak bid, but I blew all my money in REA to go higher. That is a great U&U image that was used in D381. It's a great pickup and I'm glad you got it!

Thanks Erick, pretty stoked to add it to my collection!

Greg,

Great pickup. I had considered bidding strongly for this as well...but ended up passing. Nice pickup.
