More on our website.

The borders have been trimmed off of the DiMaggio/Mantle, Ruth, one Mack and one Wagner photos listed above. The balance of this lot is as follows:

1924 Umpires 8-3/4 x 6-3/4” composite photo (VG) with borders trimmed off, handwritten date at bottom right of the obverse and minor loss at top corners

1939 All-Star Game 9x7 featuring Gabby Hartnett, Bill Terry and Paul Derrigner (VG)

1943 Shibe Park Umpire Dispute10x7 featuring Jimmy Bloodworth, Bill Grieve, Steve O’Neill and Rudy York (VG) with borders trimmed off

1977 Nolan Ryan 8x10 (VG) due to a crease to the left of the glove hand, otherwise very appealing

(3) Jim Bunning 1966 8x10 (EX) with minor corner creases that do not affect the image area, (2) 1972 8x10s (both EX)
