Not to start an argument, but I bid on a lot of photos and would have bid on about twice that number, but I cannot bid on trimmed photos unless there is a very, very compelling reason. When I see perfectly sharp edges and words are cut off the back, I move on. I think most collectors feel the same way.

I would not have bid on the Joe Jackson photo, just because it's out of my price range, but it's a perfect example. It might now be better for slabbing, but display is now out of the question.

Thank you Scott for not going any higher lol it went up to my last auto bid so I got lucky on that one.

Been getting more and more into vintage photos/snapshots, like the idea of having something a little more unique.Tried for 4 or 5 items but again out gunned. Did manage to acquire a small photo of the N Orleans Pelican field with game action circa 1910. Thinking of matching it up with a Jackson auto and maybe one of those "10" Pelican tickets that pop up once in a while.

Hilarious - I was the underbidder on that one also. Maybe two back if it got a late bid. Crazy.

One I sort of regret not going higher on was the Cobb Cadillac piece. I liked the hyping of it as a potential new catalogued card.

I thought the rookie Sisler by Paul Thompson would go higher. A cool photo. Almost half as much as the Jeffrey Dahmer mugshot and 40 bucks less than a pic of white hooded thugs. Weird.

I ended up with these four:

Just love the game action of this one. Not posed at all. Tough to find a shot like this.



And a great early Minnie Minoso



And a terrific one for my women in baseball collection



And the vastly underappreciated Althea Gibson. She lived in my neck of the woods when I was growing up.

Love the third one. Super cool.

I was the underbidder on the Matty portrait (lot #2 I think), was outbid after I fell asleep. Getting old sucks

I like all of these. That first one is one of those you keep looking at. Very nice. Congrats to you.

I agree with you Scott. I thought about upping my bid on the Cobbie myself. Cool photo!
