That's another incedible image. Curious... do you ever attempt to remove the crop marks? I know that sometimes those marks rub right off for me. Works easily with grease pencil, but I'm not sure about the white stuff. Plus, that "foursome" looks awesome as-is... the white cropping actually enhances the iconic image in a mystical sort of way.

This is the first of Henry's auctions in an eternity that I think I'm drawing a complete "goose egg". A combination of limited funds, and trying to save for Hunt's Live All Star Auction (under a month away). That said... I am getting pretty good at the "high under-bidder" thing! Glad to see that you and some other guys here are doing so well...

Also wanted to acknowledge Jimmy (who's been rather quiet lately). I couldn't help but notice some of his magnificent pieces being featured in Henry's Auction this time around. I made a run at a few of them, but all ended up elsewhere Regardless, I hope some of the proceeds can go towards some great new Beatles Memorabilia or "King of Clout" Type 1s.

Mark,
I have never tried to remove markings on pictures.
There seems to be a strong sentiment against removing them as they really speak to the "life" of the picture besides the 4 C's. I also know some would prefer a more clean image.
I have always been torn with which way to go, but have erred on the side of not removing them. I figured if I ever sell, I could always remove the marks later, if desirable.

Jimmy did very well this auction. He put up some fantastic items. I'm sure he is working feverishly on finding the newest, off the beaten path rare Beatles item.

Ben,
I have a decent little grouping of Lou pics, but I haven't really graduated to the top tier level of individual pics yet.

Here is a link to my photobucket album of Gehrig pics. I haven't added the newest ones yet.

The Mays and Koufax pics don't show up on the board, but the Mays is one of my favorite pics from this auction, outside of the Gehrigs, of course.

Ben,
That is just crazy!
You obviously saved up prior to this auction. What a haul.
Congrats on some incredible additions.

Anyone else get some stuff? Post em for all to enjoy.

Lordstan very very impressive. I'm almost embarassed to post this one. I didn't expect to get anything but I am pleased with my pick up of this 1930's Original Photo of Chuck Klein at a reasonable price.

Wow, Ben!
Congrats on your spectacular wins. Very cool!

Johnny Vander Meer 1938 Polo Grounds back with slug- 8th straight win.jpgCongrats to all of the people that managed to pull off some Henry Yee wins.

Definitely not a HR, but I did pick up one nice photo of Johnny Vander Meer from June 22, 1938 at the Polo Grounds for a very reasonable price, which is a great fit for my JVDM collection.

Only a little over a week after JVDM's 2nd consecutive no-hitter, he returns to NY for the first time. Vandy gets hit around some, but manages to get his 8th consecutive win in 1938 at The Polo Grounds. I think the panoramic view of the fans in the bleachers is a classic one.

BTW, congrats to whoever won the Type I photo of Berra's leap into Don Larsen's arms after the World Series Perfect Game. Sadly, I ended up being the underbidder on that lot. That's for sure one that I wish I had won. It's the first time I have seen this particular version of the iconic scene. Did anyone on net54 win this one?

Scott - I was the consignor on that Vander Meer picture, glad to see it wound up in good hands.

Richard,
Thanks for offering it up. I haven't seen this particular image before, so I'm glad to add it to my personal collection.

Mike, why would you be embarrassed to post something so awesome?? It's most likely my new favorite image of Klein, and in my eyes, would make an AWESOME painting. Just sayin' - you did well.
