The man formally known as the KING OF CLOUT

[Lordstan]

I spoken to Jimmy in a while, but he is THE man!
It's really his fault for getting me into vintage photography as well. Up until interacting with him here, my collection of Gehrig items was more scattered. Seeing his photos and learning about them really helped, though I'm not sure that is really the right word, me focus much more on these beauty's. I love cards, but there is something about the photos that add something extra to the feeling I get when adding something new.
I think he stopped posting here for a few reasons, but perhaps the most likely is that his focus shifted to Beatles items.
In honor of the many great posts and friendship Jimmy provided, I am posting 2 things.

First is the painting I commissioned Graig Kreindler to make from Jimmy's 1925 Conlon image.
Here is the original picture

Kreindler


Second is very likely my most favorite picture of all. He traded this to me with a very heavy heart. Gehrig with Christy Walsh's son. Obtained originally from the Walsh family.


Come to think about it. If Jimmy picked up a new Gehrig, he should be posting it here to show it off.
