Not really a photo collector, but picked up this beat up photo of the fans in the bleachers at Yankee Stadium for the 1st game of the 1937 World Series. Back of the photo is stamped Oct 7 1937, and has a stamp with some writing saying it is owned by the Associated Press, or something along those lines. Unforntately there is a newspaper clipping glued on the back, I'm guessing from a newspaper this photo was in.

Picked this one up yesterday...

It originally came from the Ed Barrow Estate. The letter is on MRS. Lou Gehrig stationary. In the letter, Eleanor thanks Ed for sponsoring the Lou Gehrig memorial fund, and also mentions other participants such as Grantland Rice, Toots Shor, and max Case...

Its elegantly signed by Eleanor and checked off as read by Ed Barrow

That's a possibility. At least it wasn't Barry Bonds' trainer. Only kidding...

you can kid. Greg Anderson was definitely Barry's supplier. Contrary to what you may think, though, Anderson is a decent guy.

I picked up this original 1972 photo of Reggie and Rudi today in Albersheim's auction. I thought the photo's background was strikingly similar to this shot of Arky Vaughn which I don't own. I think it lends itself well to the timeless nature of the game.

Definitely one of my more esoteric purchases: 1940's folding table that has about 100 1957 Topps cards glued to the top and covered with a lucite-like material. Must have been constructed back in the '60's when baseball cards weren't worth much. Has Mantle and Williams and a few minor stars. I thought it was pretty cool.
