In full disclosure I picked up this 11X14 Les Banos photo of Clemente last month and forgot to share it.

Thanks Ben, Banos took some beautiful photos. I was torn about this one. Banos, who served as the Pirates team photographer for many years died 5 years ago. For obvious reasons I love his work. This photo originates from negatives owned by the Roberto Clemente museum. I was told that only a handful of this image were printed from the original Banos negative. I have other signed Banos images. This one lacks that distinction. Nonetheless, it is a large photo printed on museum quality archival photo paper. Prior to purchasing it I communicated with a photo expert I respect. He said that this was more of an art purchase than a collectible news photo. I love the beauty of the image and decided to pull the trigger based on my love of the image's subject and the quality/beauty of the image. Nonetheless, this serves as a reminder to buy what I love not what is necessarily considered as an investment.

Mike- fantastic photo.
Brent- thank you! Good insight. Next time I see John, I'll mention what you said. I counted over 100 nails in the back barrel, wow. John thinks it could've maybe been used over many years, minors and possibly majors. Last edited by MVSNYC; 05-27-2017 at 07:55 PM. |

to pick it up. By the way where's the 1971 WS thread? I can't tell when that photo was taken, but probably '71, so put it in the thread...😃 |

The Bucs stopped using black batting helmets after the 1970 season. Great photo, though.

Cool May pickup
Picked up a Yogi Berra Spline bat for cheap. It looks fantastic next to my Mickey Mantle Spline.
Some wood loss, and the bat is really dry looking, but has someone clearly used it. Faint marker on the knob reads something?? 8(?). Or maybe 88, 38, or even BB (bat boy?). |
