What's been said goes double for non-baseball stuff. There is a wide variance in prices that can be exploited to get some really great stuff. Of course, everyone has their own likes and dislikes. My tastes run towards team issues and athlete promotional issues, which have a card 'feel' to them.
 I also like Hollywood issues, especially when they are linked to a known photographer or were studio pieces, lobby cards, etc.:    For the subjects I actively collect, I tend to grab any interesting image, regardless of 'iconic' status. I also tend to pick up pieces that come from studios with studio embossing, signatures, etc.: A double-weight wet signed portrait of Georges Carpentier from the Geisler-Andrews studio, a business that operated from 1917-1921.  Hall of Famer Fred Welsh in a 1911 photo by George Grantham Bain  10.5" x 13" portrait of Jim Jeffries embossed with the logo of the Dana Studio in San Francisco.

Don't know if any of you photo guys have ever run across this website:
http://dlxs.lib.wayne.edu/cgi/i/imag...vmc;page=index Back in the 80's I think, the Detroit News donated a ton (or two) of their negatives to the Walter Reuther Library at Wayne State University in Detroit. They have scanned a fraction of them for public viewing. There is an amazing collection of old sports photos you can browse or search for. Many of the photos are by William Keunzel (Detoit's Charles Conlin if you will) You can also download the image. My grandfather was actually a photographer with the Det. News and many of his photos are on the site as well - which is how I originally found the site. Check out this non-iconic but historically significant shot of Lou Gehrig the day he sat down at Tiger Stadium (from the website):

Gosh, that IS a great shot of the Iron Horse!
Adam: I am struck by 2 things after viewing your post... 1. Gene Tunney's lack of muscle tone (as compared to today's fighters) 2. Fred Welsh's stiking resemblance to Eli Manning. A dead ringer!  Ok... 3... Those are some incredible images! Last edited by perezfan; 02-26-2014 at 12:08 PM.

Who was your grandfather, if you don't mind me asking? My namesake, Scotty MacGregor, was also a sports photographer for the Detroit News for many years. Here is an early photo of Scotty MacGregor and boxing champ Jack Dempsey sitting on a porch in Detroit checking out Scotty's camera equipment. Scotty MacGregor was my grandfather's best friend growing up in Detroit. BTW, I accessed the link that you posted, but I was unable to find the photos that you mentioned. Can you PM me with some hints on how to get to these? Thanks! Last edited by Scott Garner; 02-27-2014 at 05:33 AM.
