In the photo section, more than any other, hobby friends tend to communicate by phone or email. There tends to be a lot of useless 'noise' and angst in this sub-forum.

...and...Very good to see you again Jimmy!

I agree Scott. It is not a reflection on anyone, or anything, if a thread doesn't get the audience we think it should. What I find a bit ironic is that Jimmy (hi Jimmy) who is a great guy too, is lamenting about the lack of posts when that is his first post in 2 years. It's just the internet I guess....

Wow. This turned into something special

If anyone would like to talk photos(network) and are on fb, come on over. I will be happy to entertain and answer any questions people might have.

Ps:I am very pleased with the positive responses I have received. This, however, is exactly why I was hoping that it would not be posted here. Thanks again Gary ha!

I will close with a couple pickups which are also posted on the facebook page above.

1) Henry Yee Auction Winning

A SUPERB TYPE 1 photo of Babe Ruth on deck starring down the pitcher ready to release hell on the ball. It is during the Yankees 1928 championship year.

Besides being a stunning image, what makes this particular photo most interesting is the bat boy Eddie Bennett kneeling behind his close friend like a loyal bird dog.

Eddie Bennett had a very hard life and died tragically. Considered a dwarf(caused by an injury as a baby), Bennett was considered a good luck charm as many of you know.

2) SEPTEMBER PICKUP

...from a fellow board member to add to my Rookie Babe Ruth TYPE 1 photo collection. It was one of the many great experiences/transactions I have had on the board. Thanks Phil Garry!

I am off to catch a flight..peace out dudes!
