December Pickups

What an extraordinary panorama and wonderful snapshot in time! I'd love to peruse it inch by inch with a magnifying glass. The clarity is terrific. I particularly like the fans with their heads turned to the camera. It's like they're the photo's subject and the rest is just phenomenal background.

I looked up the game's account in the next day's New York Times and have attempted to attach it to my post. It's a large file and am not sure if the whole thing will post or if it will be legible but here goes.

David, Could you post the link to that article? I'd like to print it and keep it with the photo. It is a bit tough to read form old eyes!

Thanks! Mike

Great photo! WW Somers was a pretty prominent Boston photographer, his image was used for the 1915 Ruth rookie postcard as well...

Convoluted pm sent.
Try this link to my ImageEvent gallery. May work and may not. Some days you beat the computer, other days the computer beats you.

Fantastic Fenway panoramic! I certainly am a jealous Red Sox collector!

Thank you all. I especially like the left field wall where the Green Monster currently sits. The ads on the wall are crystal clear. Love the clock too! This moment in time is pin-pointed by the clock!!

Peace, Mike

Pretty good look at Duffy's Cliff, too.
If you haven't read Fenway 1912 by Glenn Stout (Amazon Link) you might want to pick up a copy. Reads easy and is a terrific account of the construction of Fenway and every nook and cranny plus a blow-by-blow of the Sox' season and WS triumph. Recommend it highly.

I had one heckuva mailday today.

I'm cracking the cases on both of these T206s. I want them both in my binder, and I also don't think the Seymour is a 1.



The cards pictured in both of these are from a Net54 member, Doug. He added the card in the second picture.



My COMC order came in...





And I still have one outstanding order coming from Scott from Net54.
