Part of batting sequence photo session by Newman that ultimately appeared as a a 12 panel, 2 page layout in the wonderful 1957 Mickey Mantle Magazine (given out as a souvenir by the Yankees at Yankee Stadium). Just amazing clarity.

Craig, I really thought about going after the Mantles but held off, They are stunning, the detail and the composition is fantastic, great pick ups!

Ben, very nice adds to your already comprehensive collection, congrats

Thanks Bob. These darn Newman slides have just really gotten a hold of me. Spookie action at a distance?

I just couldn't pass up on a few of Marvin Newman's slide transparencies, which arrived in the mail today. Nothing compared to the Mantle's and others I've seen posted here so far ... but I'm happy with them none the less. I think Newman's color photography is outstanding! Anyway ... now I'm going to start trying to identify some of the slide shooting dates (that's part of the fun of it for me ;-) This shot of George Scott (Tim McCarver the catcher ... Elston Howard on deck, watching ... Al Barlick the ump ... looks like Red Schoendienst in the Cards dugout) should be the 6th inning of World Series Game 2 Played on Thursday, October 5, 1967 (D) at Fenway Park. Ron Willis is the Cardinal pitcher backing up third base on a sac fly by Rico Petrocelli that scored Scott from third, and Reggie Smith tagged from second base to third (which is why Willis is backing up third base). Bosox won 5-0. Pretty sure that's right ... per Retrosheet ... but feel free to correct me:

That Cobb was hanging around the 285-300 margin, i think when i went to sleep, I thought for sure I had it and at a moderate price. I just threw a high figure. I went for more 'eye appeal' than anything. I wanted it to put next to the 'real cards 1909 T206 red and green' The Cobb went for 595.78
As for the Ruth, i won...it went for 127.50, think it went nicely. Expected to get shot out of the dark, since it said rookie and had red sox uniform. Who else wouldnt want a rookie Babe pic.
