Holy canoli, Jimmy. I would have imagined that you'd need to add another zero to the end of that price to make it seem 'legit'. The contrast and clarity seem wonderful, too. FANTASTIC stab.
Here are two images I've had in my archives for a while now. They're not originals, but I've always loved the images, and you can be sure they'll find their way onto the canvas. The first comes from a game at Comiskey, probably from '36-'37, while the other is from Fenway sometime in 1935. Gehrig is pictured next to rookie Babe Dahlgren - the man who would replace him in the lineup over four years later. What a painting that would make!! Speaking of paintings, I don't know if I ever posted these to this thread. The first is from Conlon's famous 1936 photo, and the second, we see Gehrig on the bench watching the same Dahlgren play in his spot. Graig

Jimmy -
I mean this in the nicest way...that deal is ridiculous! I have a Type 2 of that image (stamping indicates post-1940) that I paid more for than you paid for that sweet Type 1. Good for you and thanks for sharing! |

Jimmy, Bottom L looks "rookie"... Stunning!
1936 League MVP's Lou & King Carl. Together for the October Time magazine article. (I'm fairly certain.) "If you want to hit my screwball, you'll need this." |

Good call Steve! It's actually the first photo ever taken of Gehrig in a Yankee uniform.
A single page from the New York Evening Post newspaper dated June 14, 1923. This original 17"x 21" sports page has a large photo of Lou Gehrig saying that he "NOW WEARS A YANKEE UNIFORM." Gehrig joined the Yanks midway through the 1923 season and made his debut on June 15, 1923, as a pinch hitter. 1923GehrigJoinsYankesNEWSPAPER.jpg1923GehrigJoinsYankesNEWSPAPERcloseUP.jpgGehrigYEE2010.jpg Last edited by thekingofclout; 01-25-2011 at 08:47 AM. |

Alright now. It's been 11 months since the last post in this thread and it's now time to bring back the Iron Horse! So let's see your Gehrig pick-ups from 2011. Even if you showed them in other threads. It doesn't matter... show them again!
An extremely scarce, high-grade Advertising Order Form for the 1940 Book "Lou Gehrig - Baseball's Iron Man" by Stan W. Carlson... 1940GehrigBookOrderFormWithOrigEnvelope2.jpg1940GehrigBookOrderFormWithOrigEnvelope1.jpg And many thanks to Max (baseballart) for reassuring that it indeed is an original piece and for his tremendous knowledge and scan of the book that I will be on the hunt for in 2012. BTW... Max was kind enough to send me a link to his remarkable Baseball Book Collection, and I was just floored by the vast amount of Books that have been written on the Grand Old Game over the last 120 or so years. And get this, the link Max sent me had only about 1/3 of his collection scanned for viewing at this time! I hope Max doesn't mind if I share his link to his amazing Baseball Book Collection. I really had no idea of what was really out there. Take a look. http://www.flickr.com/photos/basebal...7627662676073/ Last edited by thekingofclout; 12-28-2011 at 07:01 AM. |

Some more Gehrig stuff, most of which I think I've posted in other threads.
Jennifer's Reflections series of Lou --he is reversed in the image, so you have to look in the mirror to see the correct image Pride of Japan, Japanese edition Title from Putnam Sports Shelf series Large size poster from Graham's book, which doesn't match any dj of the book I've seen

Underbid a while back at Heritage. Meanwhile the new owner slabbed it. Oh, well. Still, happy to get it this time around.

Being that Lou is what I collect, it's not a surprise that this would be the thread of Jimmy's that I resurrect.
While rereading some of his posts 3 things strike me. 1) how much stuff of all varieties he collected. It is amazing the variety of things that were in his collection at one time. 2) how much stuff of his that I now own, including one of my favorite photos below. As you can he posted it above and traded it to me the following your I think. 3) Having nothing to do with Jimmy, but I am noticing how much i hate photobucket for screwing everything up with their ridiculous change in policies regarding 3rd party hosting. Now we are stuck with all these dead links.

Gehrig Conlon
Jimmy and I talked about this one at length when it was in Christies. We both agreed it was a MUST for the collection. Also used for card and all the fixings on the back.
