Show Your Henry Yee Winnings

GREAT detective work, guys! Thanks for putting so much effort into it. To be honest, I didn't even give it much thought, as I was just in love with the image. I figured that finding a date for it would just be an added bonus.

And entrapment or no, I'm gonna paint the sh*t out of it!

Bravo!

Sounds messy!

Given that the thread had taken a 'negative' turn, I was grateful for Graig's 'transparency', but the posts have now gone to [censored].

I picked up what is supposedly a gone negative/slide scanner yesterday - looking forward to seeing what it does with stuff like this. Watch out, you acetate and glass collectors!

i tried to get that 1950 joplin pre-rookie Mantle photo with psa/dna letter.
Placed what i thought was a good bid, no way i thought it go over 500, indeed fetch around 710. Whomever got it, it was a nice a Mantle addition

Chris.. this is the second or third one Ihave seen of this one. The last one, in worse shape, went for over 1k in a HYEE auction maybe a year or so ago(1400 ish I am thinking). It is a GREAT TYPE 3 shot. I was thinking of bidding but somehow held off the trigger.

Chris,
I agree with Ben, the last one (in worse shape) did go for something like $1200-$1400. This particular photo was used as an introduction for Mickey, as he joined the Yankees 6 days later for a 2 week tour in the majors (also received his first real glove).

Ruth Underwear Premium Photo

[Frozen in Time]

I 'm still not exactly sure why, but I have been absolutely floored by the quality and content of the Newman color slides in Henry's last two auctions. The man is a genius (well, both men are!).

Although I have a number of 35 mm transparencies and negatives, as many of you know, my main focus has been primarily on vintage Mantle photos. Well, in Henry's current auction, I finally decided to briefly reset my priorities and focus for once on some of the many 50's Newman color transparencies of the Mick.

Don't really know what I'll do with them (have no interest in making prints, etc.) but as historical color documentation of Mickey posed and in action at the stadium in the 50's along with Newman's influence on this paradigm shift in sports photography I think I made the right choice.

Here are two action shots from 1956: The first batting RH and the second an unusual fielding image at third base. I'll post my favorites next.

2) 1925 Babe Ruth with the "bellyache heard around the world" I love this as it shows how diff it was back then; Babe severely ill yet allowed the media in and found time for the kids. Neither would happen today and this encapsulates what Ruth was to me. He was stricken by a VD while playing hard yet had the biggest heart when it came to kids.

I mean.. look at Ruth's face..haha! that kid sure looks proud though.
