Jeff, great pick ups! Did you go after any of the Grange items particularly the one with him, Friedman, and Molenda?

Went after the big three photos that were in the auction but came up short. The one with Grange, Friedman, and Molenda was one of them.

Thanks again for showing these - with so few cards for 20s and 30s NFL, the photography is really nice to see. RMY wasn't on my radar at all.

Jeff the photos are great but I'm baffled by the prices on these - well, not those but the prices in the photo market - they're all over the place - they seemed to be dropping with the release of so many press photos from newspaper archives, but now I think they are on the up-swing, especially for the marquee players. I'm having a hard time adjusting when there are still photos like these for $20 and $10

GREAT ... more football photo competition

Seriously, RMY is definitely an auction you need to check out if you're looking for vintage photos. BUT get up to speed on how to date photos as there are lots and lots of photos of photos, new photos taken from original negatives, etc. that aren't anywhere nears a valuable as the originals but are hard to distinguish. It's easy to get burned buying photos if you don't know what you're doing ... or even if you do!
