Originally from the DiMaggio Estate Sale of 2006. I won the book as a companion piece for my 1937 vintage original TYPE I photograph that was featured on the cover.

Thatis a cool one...I was thinking of bidding on that actually, Nice pick-up! Now you have to get the finished product/published book as another companion piece/trilogy! The neverending story/saga....

[GKreindler]

Jimmy,

Your companion pieces are ALWAYS cool as hell. Bravo!

Graig

[Lordstan]

Jimmy,

Now that you have the photo and artist proof, all you need is a regular print copy of the book(first edition, of course) to complete the group.

Nice stuff as always,
Mark

[Lordstan]

The only one I got tonight, but am very happy.

If I recall correctly, there never was a published book from this. (Am I recalling correctly?)

Max..it is not my background but you just might be correct as I have tried to find an example on ebay/google and have not been able to.

Jimmy...you might have lucked out...you do not have to spend anymore money on this one..chapter closed..time to move on to the next.

Max is correct. I had researched it prior to bidding on it realizing that this was my one and only shot. Let's just say my cap was far more than I won it for...

[mr2686]

This was the only one I won this evening. Very happy though...this will go well with my 1919 sox display. Tomorrow are the big fish

[thekingofclout]

Boy Mike. I've seen a bunch of Landis images over the years but this candid shot is the best IMO. All they others are so dramatic and stern. This one captures the kid inside (who would have thought that about Landis). I mean really, if this isn't a classic kid pose at a ballgame...what is?

[mr2686]

Thanks Jimmy! I really like it and now I'll have to pick up that Landis autograph a little sooner than expected.

[perezfan]

I picked up only one tonight, as prices went haywire on all the stuff I liked.

This one had sentimental value to me, as I am the same age as the kids in the picture. I lived in S.F. at the time, and was friends with a boy who lived next door to Mays (in this house!) I think he is pictured in the photo, with his arm through the rails.

Pretty amazing that Willie would let so many kids into his home... guess he wasn't as grumpy a fellow back in the day

[thekingofclout]

That certainly speaks volumes about Willie. I'm sure a few decades of us fans fawning over him at card shows, restaurants, after the games, and everywhere else you could possibly think of, took it's toll on the Say Hey Kid, and understandably so.

Like most everything in life, fame is also best suited for the young.

[Forever Young]

1927 Yankee infield prior to WS

[perezfan]

Great observations Jimmy... Mays had to be a good guy, to let so many kids into his home. Looks like they all received a free Auravision Record, to boot! Somewhat understandable how he must have became sullied over the years, with so many people fawning all over him.

Ben: What a majestic (and killer) image... many congrats on that one!


I didn't realize I won another one (forgot to file it in my "watched items"). This is a beautifully composed original George Burke photo of Dizzy Dean. I love the full body pose, as opposed to the more commonly seen Burke portraits...

Thank you..however I do not thank you for winning this Dean as I was the under bidder Couldn't you have forgot to snipe it too?
Awesome photo! Congrats

Perfect!

The fact that this photo is featured in the book "A Portrait of Baseball Photography" doesn't hurt..

Awesome photo! Congrats

Sorry Ben

I caught the Burke Dizzy Dean late, and couldn't believe I missed it the first time around. I bet I missed a ton of others, as there were just so many listed. I don't recall even seeing the one you posted above. If I did, I may have driven your price up a bit (weak attempt to provide you some consolation )

Now I need to go back and see what it went for!

[thekingofclout]

1956 vintage original sequential TYPE I photograph of "The Great One" making a spectacular catch...

1956CLEMENTEsequential.jpg

1956CLEMENTEsequentialVERSO.jpg

Notice written on the back of the photo is: Photo used in SPORT MAGAZINE AUG 1963 "The Importance of Pride in Sports"

So I searched out the issue and bought it. In the description was...

SPORT MAGAZINE (AUGUST 1963 VOL.36 #2, 35¢ COPY) - WILLIE MAYS COVER/STORY.

OTHER STORIES INCLUDE:

"THE AMERICAN LEAGUE MANAGERS' PLAYER RATINGS" - BY TIL FERDENZI.
"WILLIE MAYS: HIS LONELINESS AND FULFILLMENT" - BY ARNOLD HANO.

"THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIDE IN SPORTS" - BY MYRON COPE.

So I can't wait to see the Clemente sequential images in print. This would be the fastest I have ever found a companion piece.

Jimmy, awesome pick-up. I didn't even notice that picture during the auction. I need to slow down while searching through all those items. As of right now I've been outbid on a couple Anyway, no big deal, there is always tonight's closing.

I have to say some of the closing prices have been really high. Yee Auctions really get a premium price but he sure has a lot of gems.

[ibuysportsephemera]

Jimmy...I hope I am not spoiling it for you...but attached are the photos.

Jeff

[JasonL]

of my fave...Ozzie Smith.
Not sure what the value should have been on those, as they are fairly modern, but I got a kick out of them so I figure $45 for the pair is a nice addition.

the one I got COMPLETELY blown out of the water on in the last minute, was the 1947 shot of Jackie Robinson with Ben Chapman. Goes to show I don't understand the photo market, I suppose. I thought I had this with less than a minute to go, while it sat at $35 and my max was $75...went for $350 or something like that! Was hoping to land that one as it was relevant to an incident connected to my cousin that I would like to document more thoroughly someday soon. oh well.

[sayhey24]

Jimmy -- your collection is amazing and so are your recent pickups, but I absolutely love "so I'm as happy as I was over my last divorce"!

Greg

[thegashousegang]

Great pickups everyone. I came up short on everything last night - let's hope I do a bit better with tonight's fantastic items.

Now I need to go back and see what it went for!

Anthony, thank you! I came up short on the Waner Bros photo but thought I got a this one for a great great price.

P-FAN,
The Dizzy was a GREAT pickup..no need to apologize at all as I am sure I have been on the other side of the coin and have NEVER been sorry
The Dizzy was a steal for that price!
Good luck to all tonight! There have been some GREAT prIces realized but man...some absolute steals too(i.e.. 1954 Jackie Robinson with bats, Ted Williams' ".400 hands", clemente type 1s UNDER 100 bucks..etc..

[mr2686]

This is just another example, to me, of what makes the hobby so much fun. With a limited amount of funds to use for this auction, and several great items to purchase...all going off at different times, you really have to narrow down what you want to bid on and come up with a strategy. I determined that I had to pass on several I would have liked to have bid on yesterday so that I could make higher bids on ones I REALLY REALLY want today. The downside of course is that I may be outbid today which leaves me out in the cold, but that's all part of the game!

[perezfan]

It is showing us that nothing even matters until that final 7 seconds of bidding. It's silly to get your hopes up, based on the first 99.99% of time elapsed.

Jimmy... your Clemente sequential shot and Aaron/Mantle photo are both to die for. I had a snipe in on the Clemente that never even registered. I'm very glad it went to you, as the companion Sport Magazine is a killer. I can't believe how quickly you were able to find/acquire it... big time congrats!

[GKreindler]

Mark, GREAT Gehrig shot. Ya gotta love something from the '37 Series, especially if it involves Gehrig and that awesome shadow of the second deck in the Polo Grounds. I LOVE the action and light in that one.

Ben, as I mentioned yesterday, that was one hell of a bargain. A more formidable infield I've never seen. A more formidable photo of said formidable infield I've never seen, either.

Jimmy, once I saw that Clemente sequential get posted, I thought to myself, 'there's one Jimmy's gonna win'. I just followed the formula that I learned early on in our friendship: Clemente + sequential photography = VERY happy Jimmy.

Mike, that shot of Landis is sweet. I love those shots of him with his chin on the rail. Very iconic!!

Mark (perezfan), any shot of Willie with kids is just grand. It seems like that's when that awesome boyish smile really comes out!!

[Lordstan]

Graig,
Thanks.
I like his action shots as well. I have another from that series around the bag a first with a different Giant player running.
I bid on some others last night too, but it wasn't meant to be.
Perhaps tonight will see a few more successes.
Mark

What a fantastic layout, even better than I had hoped for!

I must be a good boy, cause Santa came early for me!

Type 1 used for the 1954 Topps Card



I bet someone else has a nice photo they picked up used for a baseball card...Anyone? Anyone?...Bu...Jimmy?

Alright Ben, here it is, by the legendary lensman Barney Stein...

[perezfan]

Jimmy...

Can't believe your phenomenal acquisitions... that is not the frosting on the cake... it's the cake itself! Mucho congrats!


I struck out the entire night, except for a big win at the end... this was my second favorite piece of all Henry's offerings (and it took every penny of my snipe to get it).

I just can't believe that a photographer was in position to capture this intriguing image...

[sox1903wschamp]

Spur of the moment pickup for me. Helps with a display I am working on centered around the greatest Red Sox outfield of all time. Nice auction by the way.

[mr2686]

I totally bombed last night. Was the underbidder on the Sandy Amoros "catch"...and was really stupid as I fell asleep before I bid on Mazeroski's homerun. It went cheap and I'm really kicking myself.

[Lordstan]

Everyone got some beauty's. Congratulations to all!

Jimmy,
Your acquisitions were spectacular!! That Robinson is an incredible image.

I picked up two more last night as well. 1 vintage, 1 not.

Lou and Bobby Lowe. First NL and AL men to hit 4hrs in a game.



and Tom Terrific from 1967




Some stuff went higher than I thought, but there were alot of deals to be had as well. Wish I had the money to buy them all.

Mark

[bcbgcbrcb]

Well, I was 0 for 2, lost out on the Al Kaline 1953 rookie photo and the 1930 Detroit Tigers team photo w/Greenberg.

[Lordstan]

Mike,
I just saw you posted the Ozzie sots you won.
I like them.
You can't go wrong with rookie year shots of a HOFer.
You know they're not vintage but thinking about it, they are 32yrs old.
Plus you gotta love the sideburns.
Congrats
Mark

[timzcardz]

Nothing Pre-war, but I am happy with the two that I did pick up, and real happy with the prices.


Ripken autographed 3000 Hit display:



Moose Skowron-Billy Hunter from 07/11/1958:

[Ladder7]

Nuttin for me. Some nice stuff from ol henry this round I see. Partcularly the '27 infield, Lou with Bobby Lowe and that Robby.

[mr2686]

Mark, great pickup on the Gehrig/Lowe photo. Those are the type I really love...multiple players with an interesting story/theme to them. 4 hr's in one game is something else! Lowe looks like he's about 80 but still looks like he could play...they don't make players like that anymore.

[deadballera]

picked up a couple of photo's last night...

Roger Peckingpaugh

[deadballera]

forgot one..... must have been a little DIZZY

[mayx2]

Very nice pickups,I got outbid on everything ! Lou

[3and2]

This was a fun pick up for me, since i grew up cheering for this wild & crazy team as a kid. Vintage 1986 original photo depicting the World Champion New York Mets. 8” x 10”, 1st generation photograph with excellent contrast and crisp clarity. This is roughly as modern as I get when collecting. it's hard to believe next year will be their 25th anniversary.

Mid 1980's shot of baseball's Ironman avoiding a slide by one of baseball's palindrome names.....
