FS: Type 1 photo of John Stone, Wash. Senators outfielder 1934-37
John Stone, Washington Senators outfielder, original Type 1 photo, size 6" x 8.5" but with cutouts as seen in the pics. From 1934 through 1937, Stone was a fine outfielder for the Senators, with batting averages ranging from .314 to .341. Sadly, early in the 1938 season, Stone came down with tuberculosis, which ended his baseball career. The photo has creases at two corners and other minor flaws, but the image of Stone is strong. $24 delivered.
Note: This Type 1 photo was part of Lot #59127 in Heritage Auction's October 26, 1924, Sports Showcase Auction. This auction lot consisted of 12 Type 1 photos of Washington Senators players. I won this lot to obtain the 2 Sam Rice photos that were in it, as I'm an avid Sam Rice collector. This photo has a small, round, silver sticker (1" in diameter) on the back which reads "Christies" and "1996 Baseball Magazine Original."
