I've been longing for a nice 1961 Mantle & Maris TYPE 1 photo and I finally hit paydirt!

Yes, I'd say that if your main collecting goal was to add a 1961 Type 1
Maris/Mantle photo, you knocked it out of the friggin' park!

WOW! AWESOME JIMMY! If I didn't have the one below, I have a feeling one of us would have cost the other A LOT of money and been accused a "SHILLER".

I won this one:

I got this photo for a steal. I love the American League Service Bureau photos and they sell well. Marginal Hall of Famers sell for what I had to pay to win this "Babe".

That's a terrific image Phil. Congrats!

Not a photo, but a nicely executed figural depiction of the Babe. And obtained from Henry at a relatively low price

Thise are some GREAT Ruths and Mantle/Maris!



I went O-fer on the older stuff, and in hindsight I should have bid higher on a few.

However, I did manage to add this shot of Cal's 2nd career grand slam to my Ripken collection for less than half my max bid.

Speaking of Mel Allen....this is a really neat ink blotter, circa 1948, I am very happy to have won. And I won it at less than 1/3 of my snipe bid. I really liked it.....

Well look at you Leon... you've found a new niche to collect! What a hobby!

This is the second and last piece I won in Henry's auction. Speaking of niche collecting, I'm all into sequential & composite photographs and guess what? Most Sequential and Composite photos are NOT TYPE 1 photos, and I don't even care!

I'll save that for another thread.

"The Great One" making a catch while looking like he's sitting in a rocking chair...

Nice pickups guys. That Mantle/Maris photo and Clemente are really cool Jimmy.

[GKreindler]

Great pick-ups, everyone!

Jimmy, as soon as I saw that shot on the auction, I knew you'd end up with it in the end. Bravo!

Rhys, that Ruth shot is AWESOME. And really, you got one hell of a good price on it.

Tim, I LOVE that Ripken shot. Having the follow-through with the number and name on the back makes it.
