The "Three-Finger" Brown picture is incredible...somehow I missed that one in this incredible auction.
These are my first photo purchases, and also my first post on this side of the board. Incredible photos all! Here are my wins, all Cubs-focused, so, in other words, the photos all have a context of failure within them, and I love it. Not too much to find on the contrary...  Anyone got any Cubs photos with 1907-1908 WS in mind?

Scott:
Thanks for the great info and background on radar technology. Nate: I love the photo with the Tiger Mascot Batting. Is there any indication as to whether this is the 1935 or '45 World Series? Here's one for you... Early 1908 version of the Cubs' Mascot (not from Rhys' auction, and not mine). I just thought you might like to see it

I love that photo! I believe I've seen it before. Boy, they've come a long way with mascot creation. That looks like a beaver!
Anyway, the mascot picture is from the 1935 Series. The photo was taken at Navin Field in Detroit, and the Cubs mascot is in the background, crouched down - waiting for his turn.

Is it just me, or does the umpire in the Tigers mascot suit photo, look like William Frawley, who played the roll as Fred Mertz on Lucille Ball show.
The reason I ask, is that a 1935 movie was released called "Alibi Ike" and Frawley was the manager of the Cubs in that movie. I don't believe umpires wore hats with logos.

Well it was an interesting night to say the least.
This was the first auction in which I have participated in a significant way. I have bid on a single auction house item twice, but this time was it was overload. My first impressions are that staying up till 3AM waiting for an auction to end and then going to bed not knowing if I was going to win anything Sucks! That being said, I understand why and don't want to debate the pros and cons of different auction styles in this thread. The auction seemed well run and in the end I am glad I participated. When I went to bed I was winning 4 items. Much to my surprise, when I woke, I had won them all. I had a certain amount budgeted, which I stuck to and was able to come away with a few nice photos. 1928 WS action. I know they don't seem to garner the attention or big money, but I like action shots. 1928 Spring Training Swinging. I have a couple of others from ST of that year. It could be the same photographer on the same day as they have a very similar feel to them. 1928 Spring Training taking a picture of Art Fletcher. Same story as above. My others from possibly the same day.   Last, but not least 1925 April Spring Training prior to his first year in the bigs.

Good observation. I have a question for anyone who knows: Is there a known image that has the Cubs mascot up to bat? I think that would be pretty cool to put them together in a display, with the caption:
1935 World Series: Cubs vs. Tigers (Cubs Lose Again) Quote:

I glanced though the catalog after the auction ended (after, all I was semi-conscious in the hospital during the auction) and noticed some of the high speed 'Edgerton' photos. In case anyone picked one up, Harold Edgerton is one of the most famous and important photographers in 20th century history. He was an M.I.T. electical engineering professor who invented ultra high speed photography. You know, those iconic images of a bullet piercing a playing card, a hummingbird wings in mid flap-- those are Edgerton's photos. Many to most of his photos were shot in his M.I.T. lab. His photos are ranked as both advanced scientific experiments and collectible works of art, and original examples are rare on the market.

I received an email this morning, more of a "Thank You to everyone" email, in it they mentioned that invoices will be sent early this week with detailed payment instructions.
Looking forward to paying the invoice to get the new items in my hands Tim
