RMY auction pickups

Can't find the "Like" button.
Thanks, Scott. Penny just dropped that the Conerly image is indeed his '50 Bowman card. Thanks for pointing that out. Am partial to that set as it was my birth year.
Agreed on the the killer tomatoes of yesteryear. Lots of glamour and style that's missing today. My two cents adjusted for inflation.

Also love those contest beauties - nothing wrong with today's definition of 'beauty', but loved those Marilynesque women with a little meat on their bones.

Picked up this Zach Wheat the day after he got his 2000th hit. Bid on a couple others that were over my head.

I spent a little more than I wanted to on it, but it's an amazing photo and has the same appeal as most quality Conlons out there. It will go perfect paired up with my 1927 Babe Ruth Portrait shot and even though a similar Gehrig exists from '27, this 1926 Portrait blows the other Gehrig out of the water IMO!

Bryan,
Very nice picture. I considered bidding, but decided against it, as I own the Gehrig portrait, that matches the Ruth, you are referring to. They are both beautiful pictures.
Congrats on the pickup,
Mark



Joey,
Is that Bugsy Siegel in the last photo? If not, who is it? Looks really familiar to me. Great Ruth family shot, as well.

Congrats.
If I had unlimited money, but could only buy one picture in the auction, it would've been that one.
Just spectacular.

Thanks, the moment I saw the Matty photo I knew I had to have it. To me it is the most iconic image of him and that's saying a lot!

David, there is a great Dizzy Dean Van Oeyeon photo in Legendary (yes, it is mine) that is gorgeous that you might want to take a look at.

Thanks Greg for not going harder, it was a nail biter for me

Ben, another fabulous Ruth to your already phenomenal collection

Bryan, that Gehrig is an awesome addition, congrats!

Mark, the Feller is is off the charts, that is a photo that you can hang on your wall and call it art. I wanted the Paige but fell short as My funds were intent on the Matty only.

Kenny, great photo of Zach

There are aome great photos in Legendary that I have my eye on and fortunately I do not have to wait long for it to close.

Bryan,

Like I said. Both are beauties.
Also you may be making an incorrect assumption, but they are both 7x9. The Ruth and the one I have were both taken prior to the 1927 WS.

It's a great addition to your collection.


Mark,
That is a really cool Feller. You could frame it up with a ticket from the event if you can find it.


Bob,
I hear you. Very wise choice on your part.

"I wanted the Paige but fell short as My funds were intent on the Matty only."

Bob:
I sorta think you did ok. That Matty photo might even be a decent compliment to your Ad Sign.

After the Joe Jax and now this monumental Matty, I don't see how you can possibly top that in Legendary. But very eager to see what's next!
