Mike and Bob, I clearly misunderstood Mike's comments, for a variety of reasons which I just included in my PM to Mike and I sincerely apologize for overreacting and coming across as a jerk. This is not who I am and hope that I can be forgiven for my bad behavior. All my best. Craig

A few more Mantles
A few more Mantles to hopefully make up for my earlier misunderstanding:
Feb 2, 1951 One of the earliest images of the Rookie in his pre-season workouts at Phoenix. Beaming with Joe D., notice that Mickey has written his name on the glove which was given to him by Frankie Crosseti during the two weeks he toured with the Yankees in the Fall of 1950. Type I photo by Wm. C. Greene. 1951 – Right field at YS. This Type I photo was taken a second or two before a photographer from another news agency shot the photo that forms the background for the 1956 Topps card (a Type III version of that photo appeared in the initial RMY auction). A rare Type I photo of this famous image showing Mickey getting some air in Spring training as he prepares for the opening of 1952 season. An early and rare photo of Mickey with Mel Allen. The focus gives the stadium a ghostly feel and provides a feeling of significance that the circumstances probably don’t warrant. In any case, a nice young image of the Mick. 1956 – Mickey about to unleash that magnificent power from the left side, Herbie Scharfman ready to capture it all, as usual and Ike in the stands watching his favorite ball player. The focal point for the photographer was Ike giving the “soft focus” image of Mickey an ethereal feel, which if you stare at it long enough provides an impression of movement. 1956 – My favorite on deck shot of Mickey, Type I with a telephoto lens by Arthur Rickerby – United Press. 1956 – Beautiful Type I portrait during his triple crown year – the mark is not on the photo but a scar on Mickey’s forehead. 1956 – Rare Kodachrome 35 mm transparency of Mickey batting from the right side at YS by noted SI and Pulitzer Prize sports photographer Arthur Daley.

A few more Vandy's from his 1938 double no-hit season
Here are a few more I'd like to share....
Two photos of Vandy meeting Babe Ruth for the first time prior to his 2nd consecutive no-hitter- Ebbets Field NY. The 2nd photo also features his teammate Paul Derringer that obviously is enjoying watching the whole scene. The Babe sat on the Cincinnati bench for the entire game and was the first to greet Vandy in the dugout following the game. OT-Vander Meer expressed later in life that one of his greatest baseball thrills was getting the opportunity to meet, and become good friends, with his childhood hero Babe Ruth. After initially meeting, Vander Meer and Ruth, along with Babe's baseball roomie Harry Harper and Smoky Joe Wood, hunted and fished many times from 1938 until Ruth's death in the 1947. Vander Meer, an avid sportsman, stated that Ruth's hunting skills were "unparalleled". He would allow Vandy, who Babe always referred to as "lefthander" (never by name-LOL), to take the first shot. Vandy would typically miss the target, but Ruth, by Vandy's account, virtually always brought the prey down with the follow up shot delivered by Babe and his trusty hunting rifle "Long Tom". Several photos that were taken at the Vander Meer home in Midland Park, NJ with locals the day following his historic 2nd no-hit game. I believe that these were used in a magazine article, but I'm not sure which one. Whoever the photographer was IMHO had tremendous skill. Each one of these photos could have been painted by Norman Rockwell. Original fan snapshot of the celebration on the field at Ebbetts following the 2nd no-hitter. I love this photo for many reasons... 2 photos of early Vandy by Mr. Conlon-1937 (right) and 1938 (left). Enjoy! Last edited by Scott Garner; 03-09-2014 at 06:09 AM.

Wow!!!
Some great pics every one. Craig, That Gallo Mantle has to be one of the finest baseball photographs ever. Despite that, my favorite of the ones posted is the one of him in the air going to throw. Something really s hits me about that one. Also something you said strikes me as odd. If these great photos aren't your favorites, which ones are? Scott F, I do love that Ruth with his wife photo. Great image. If the Wagner is the second to last collectible to go, What is the last to go? Fantastic Leo the Lip photo. That one really does capture the essence of the man. Bob, My eyes keep getting drawn to the Drysdale. What great composition, with the ball out of focus coming right at us. Scott G, I love love love the pics of Vandy with the kids. I'm sure I missed some, but everyone posted some great stuff.

71 Buc,
What year is that Pie Traynor. I have been researching my cousin's photo collection and in it is a stetch of Pie. I have been looking for the photo match. The sketch has a very faded press stamp on back but good clear date of Oct 6, 1927. Send me a PM. Attachment 136314

Thanks Mark. I'm a sucker for those as well. I like the clarity, composition and subject matter in all of these. Last edited by Scott Garner; 03-09-2014 at 06:13 AM.

Thanks Mark, I like both of those also. The problem for me, and it has been since I joined net54, is that I still don't have a scanner. Therefore, I can only post scans of lots that I have won in auctions the last few years, which represents about 5% of my collection, while the remaining 95% collected over the past 30 years, remains unavailable to post. Someday, hopefully sooner rather than later, although I've been saying that for the past 4 years, I'll get a scanner, find the time to use it and be able to share much more of my collection and show you some of my favorites -and you will be able to understand why they are.
