Let's see your Henry Yee Auction winnings...

Boy Mike. I've seen a bunch of Landis images over the years but this candid shot is the best IMO. All they others are so dramatic and stern. This one captures the kid inside (who would have thought that about Landis). I mean really, if this isn't a classic kid pose at a ballgame...what is?

Thanks Jimmy! I really like it and now I'll have to pick up that Landis autograph a little sooner than expected.

I picked up only one tonight, as prices went haywire on all the stuff I liked.

This one had sentimental value to me, as I am the same age as the kids in the picture. I lived in S.F. at the time, and was friends with a boy who lived next door to Mays (in this house!) I think he is pictured in the photo, with his arm through the rails.

Pretty amazing that Willie would let so many kids into his home... guess he wasn't as grumpy a fellow back in the day

That certainly speaks volumes about Willie. I'm sure a few decades of us fans fawning over him at card shows, restaurants, after the games, and everywhere else you could possibly think of, took it's toll on the Say Hey Kid, and understandably so.

Like most everything in life, fame is also best suited for the young.

Great observations Jimmy... Mays had to be a good guy, to let so many kids into his home. Looks like they all received a free Auravision Record, to boot! Somewhat understandable how he must have became sullied over the years, with so many people fawning all over him.

Ben: What a majestic (and killer) image... many congrats on that one!


I didn't realize I won another one (forgot to file it in my "watched items"). This is a beautifully composed original George Burke photo of Dizzy Dean. I love the full body pose, as opposed to the more commonly seen Burke portraits...

I caught the Burke Dizzy Dean late, and couldn't believe I missed it the first time around. I bet I missed a ton of others, as there were just so many listed. I don't recall even seeing the one you posted above. If I did, I may have driven your price up a bit (weak attempt to provide you some consolation )

Now I need to go back and see what it went for!

Anthony, thank you! I came up short on the Waner Bros photo but thought I got a this one for a great great price.

P-FAN,
The Dizzy was a GREAT pickup..no need to apologize at all as I am sure I have been on the other side of the coin and have NEVER been sorry
The Dizzy was a steal for that price!
Good luck to all tonight! There have been some GREAT prIces realized but man...some absolute steals too(i.e.. 1954 Jackie Robinson with bats, Ted Williams' ".400 hands", clemente type 1s UNDER 100 bucks..etc..
