I'm currently working with over 500 1930's glass plate negatives from The Sun archives, which is a now defunct NYC newspaper. Imagine my surprise when over 50 original prints from The Sun archives popped up in the Yee auction.

At least four of the original photos being offered by Yee matched glass negatives I've got and I was fortunate enough to grab two of them. Will post pics later on.

Hey Ben. Love the Ruth!

What's going on in that bottom photo? You'd think someone just scored and it's a celebration at home plate, but then you see #3 isn't a fellow Yankee and a new probability emerges…perhaps a scuffle???

Edited to add: I just realized that #3 is indeed a Yankee, George Selkirk. It's weird how the number continued to be worn by other players, uninterrupted, until it was retired after the Babe died in 1948.

Yessir, I plan to definitely attend in Chicago...

[JoeyFarino]

Some of the prices were insane but thats the way it goes. Type 1 and Type 2 sales are gaining alot more popularity and the prices are reflecting that

Great photos guys. I was after the Mays 1954 WS catch but fell short...

[Snapolit1]

I wish there was some registry or other resource that could give reliable info as to how many of these photos actually exist. The Mays photo is iconic. Museum piece. But are there 10 Type 1s? 23? 125? 500? 1000? I'm sure some people have a better feel for this than I do. Common sense would suggest the more important a photo is the more of them that were printed and the more of them that were preserved.

$4780 is insane!!! The shot isnt even clear and has a out of focus appearance. It may be a iconic shot but is it really a appealing image? Its a back shot thats out of focus.
