Hey guys,

It's been a while, so I thought I'd give this thread a bump. Anyone?

Hey fellas,

It's been over two years since I first started this thread, so I know the chances are slim - but might anyone have this image of Greenberg? Or, any other cool negatives from the disbandment of the Detroit News archives by lexibell a few years back?

Hope you northeasterners are keeping warm.

None from the Detroit News unfortunately but have purchased quite a few of the George Burke negatives, via the John Rogers distribution outlets on eBay and via Legendary Auctions etc.

Happy to provide these if of any potential use.

I don't accept hugs--I'm a lawyer; they burn like holy water or garlic--but I have this image with negative if you want to use it:

That's a pretty darn cool shot, Adam. I don't remember ever seeing it. I think I'll definitely trouble you for a scan one day. That is, if it's cool with you.

Ulidia, sometimes I like Burkes a lot, and other times, not so much. Sometimes I feel like his portraits can be a little bit too blown out for my taste, which usually hides a lot of vital information. Though, I guess it all depends on the image. I'd love to see what you came away with!

Thanks for both of your responses!

I'm far from being a photographic expert but would find it hard to disagree with you on this. That said, I do think it's probably an image-by-image thing. I purchased around 20 of the negatives via Legendary Auctions and other sources, all of which contained HoFs. Some are better than others - I agree totally on that and many don't speak to me at all.

Interestingly, this poignant image of Babe Dalgren & Lou Gehrig which I assume was shot in July 1939 given Yankees were @ White Sox then, is my favourite. It's one of the negatives I picked up at Legendary. Whilst I don't think it necessarily lends itself to a good painting for a variety of reasons, I think it's a superb and evocative image:

Here's a way you might be able to track it down-

If you remember when the auction ended you can search through his feedback from around that time- it always lists what the item was that the feedback comment is referring to- if the buyer left him feedback it will be there and you'll be able to click on the persons ebay name and send them a message.

I see he's got a lot of feedback though so it may take a bit of digging...

Alright, so it's been five years since this thread was bumped...I thought I'd try to bring it back to life in the hopes that somebody out there was able to obtain negatives from the Detroit News at some point.

Here are some other examples I'd love to find high-res scans for:

Love this shot of Landis and Medwick. Not only a great photo but a significant event in baseball history captured.

Lets just say I hope you are successful in turning any of these pictures into Kreindler works of art. I think the Greenberg would be an amazing painting.

I have some negatives from the Detroit archive. Not the ones you are looking for but there are some including a different Greenberg if you want me to look for you at what we have.
