Favorite Charles Conlon photos?

[pherbener]

Here’s a couple of mine. 1910 is actually a glass negative of Matty with mascot Jimmy Grealish and a 1912 WaJo.

I have been going thru my photos yesterday and today, in a style reminiscent of when I used to sort Topps cards on my parents living room floor in the 1970s.

This one jumped out at me.

Not really a surprise that it's a Conlon.

Well, full disclosure, the white boxes are all empty, although I have four full boxes that aren't shown (that's why you can't see a Dodgers box).

So, yes, it's a lot, but not as many as you might think.

Does anyone happen to know who purchased the Conlon photographic archive negatives from Heritage in 2016 for $1,792,500?

I spent a bit less than 1/100th of 1% of that to be able to add Mr. Mack to this thread

What a poignant photo of the great Mack. You can almost see into his soul...or at least into his bushy eyebrows...

I am sure who ever bought them did really really well on both the collection front and the investment front especially the way many of those famous ones jumped in value

I especially love his Action photo's and the real closeups of the player
