479 Charles Conlon Originals Including the Famous "Ty Cobb Sliding"

[CW]

Was watching that one myself. Amazing! Is that the highest recorded price for a type 1 sports-related photo (or any photo for that matter)?

I was thinking the same thing myself

Some unbelievable pics in this auction. Was very luck to pick up 5 pics relatively cheap. Great auction!

Nice stuff. I picked up a Michael Jordan college era photo and a Dick Butkus 1966 team issue.

I was fortunate enough to pick up this 1930's Re-Strike of the Conlon Cobb Slide a few months back from RMY for a song.

big shout out to RMY,,,have had nothing but positive experiences with them

My mail flyer for the Dec 5 auction that was mailed on Dec 1 arrived today (Dec 7).

But.... I still was able to pickup a few items from the announcement here and payment will go out tomorrow. Thanks!

I guess these other Cobb Sliding photos weren't Type I? Link 1, Link 2, Link 3

That re-strike is a very cool piece.

I was thrilled to snag the Art Nehf photo from this auction. He's one of two players to make it to the majors from my alma mater (Rose-Hulman Inst of Tech. in Terre Haute, IN). Our field is actually named after him.

I'm guessing the die-hard Conlon fans are aware of it, but the book "Baseball's Golden Age, the Photographs of Charles M Conlon" would be a nice addition to any baseball-related collection. Not surprisingly, there are some incredible images in it. I would highly recommend it.

Cheers,
