Just was able to snag this great press/wire-
Awesome shot from a Spring Training game in 1951. Unfortunately looks like Doerr was out at home.
I happen to love adding these photos to my collection, but only it the price is right. Whether it's the former journalist me or something else, all the markings and notations add significant value to the pieces. Really feels like a part of history, more so than just an 8x10 from the same time frame.
With the fall of newspapers and magazines left and right these days, along with the digitalization of all their records, we are bound to see more and more of these in the years to come.
Unfortunately some of these get listed for ridiculous prices and the sellers aren't willing to budge. I love these items, but not sure I would be willing to spend joe than $20 on one depending on the shot.
So what's everyone's thoughts on these? Love them? Hate them?! Adding them only at right price?!
Also show off any that you have in your collection!
Thanks,
Jeff
