I typically only buy Ruth and Gehrig not because that's all I want but is all I can keep track of/afford. Recently, I lost focus and made a rare exception.
I purchased two original snapshots(most likely 1 of a kinds) that derived from the Monte Irvin estate.
Bonafide TYPE 1 original examples of Josh Gibson are damn near impossible to find. The well known quote by Monte pushed me over the edge and made these must haves for me.
I guess it does fit in my collection a little though right? After all, Josh was considered "The Black Babe Ruth".. or was it the other way around; Ruth was the "White Josh Gibson"? I guess it depends on who you ask.
I would love to see other Josh Gibson Type 1 photos or any other Negro league originals if they are out there. Show your stuff! The stuff is so neat and so rare.
