Let's see your Henry Yee Winnings...

With two days finished and two more to go, let's see what you got so far.

I was able to pick-up the one I wanted most. The earliest date stamp on the back reads APR 24 1936 so this photo predates his Major League Debut of May 3, 1936.

Hey, Jimmy. Have you noticed that the photo was printed reversed?

When I first saw the photo, I didn't realize it. But once I saw the stampings on the back;

REVERSE

I finally figured it out! But in my eyes, it doesn't diminish the beauty of the image. As you know David, us photo guys have to be more forgiving then card collectors.

Hmm... I wonder David. Would that be considered an error photo? And if so, would it be worth ten times more?

BTW... GREAT pick-ups there David. That's a terrific swinging image of Lou and the pedigree from the Baseball Magazine Archives is always nice to have.

Also, that Gehrig w/baby photo used to be in my collection. I'm very happy that it ended up in the hands of a true passionate Yankee collector!

Finally, picked up a photo from one of Henry's auctions, Joe Cronin at 16 years old............

WoW! That's a terrific photo Phil. Mr. "Rags to Riches" himself when he was still in the "Rags" stage of his life. IMO... Cronin is certainly one of the most important men to ever be a part of Major League Baseball. His accomplishments far exceed any statistic that has ever been created.

Congrats Phil.

Thanks, Jimmy. Love your DiMaggio rookie photo as well.

1950's original RPPC of the Mick. Same pose you'll find on his Exhibit Supply Co pc which is sepia toned in black & white print. Great pick up's thus far everyone.

This is really a great photo.

I was hanging out with my girlfriend when the auctions ended, and totally spaced them

...I guess it was worth it.

Thanks, Jimmy. I'm happy to have them. Good luck with the rest of your bids!

I had my eye on the George Gipp football photo that ends today. I was hoping to steal it for less than $500 but I have never seen a type 1 photo sell for so much on ebay, $3400 is QUITE hefty! Henry is a nice guy and his auctions always do well but that is crazy money.

Henry is VERY fortunate. His prices are UNreal, even on small items. He had a Mantle/Maris magazine a couple days ago, that went for like 56.00. I have had two of those in near the same shape for 10-15 over the years. Plus, the photos are NUTS.

But, its GREAT stuff and there are plenty of collectors willing to pay. Plus, he sold an item of mine once for a REALLY NICE price, so thats a good thing too.
