Description                                                                             "The Five-Cent Series"     Here is a terrific vintage 7 x 9 original TYPE 1 (printed off the original negative at or near the time it was taken) ACME Newspictures photograph of two of the most legendary players the game has ever known in... the Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig and the Meal Ticket, Carl Hubbell... as they get ready to battle it out for the World Series Title of 1937. This fantastic photo features razor sharp clarity and phenomenal contrast and is nothing short of remarkable. Quality TYPE 1 photographs of Top-Tier Hall of Fame players are without question, some of the most sought after in the hobby, and this extremely desirable image of Hubbell and Gehrig is the first of it's kind that we've come across. For the record, BOTH of these Baseball Legends were named MVP in their respective league, while Captain Lou and his Bombers ended up besting King Carl and his G-Men for the World Title. Ideal for the avid Gehrig fan or vintage photograph collector looking for that unique display piece. Simply add a pair of Hubble and Gehrig cuts and let the bragging rights begin. A scan of the verso reveals a period ACME Newspictures stamp, and the news slug describing the events (see scans).This prized photograph is in excellent condition (as the high-quality scan reveals) and has a few wrinkles that DO NOT impede on the central image whatsoever and a couple of pinholes restricted to the boarders. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer vintage image of this Hall of Fame duo, so this is not the piece to waffle on, as once it's gone, you may never see another one again.   The comforting thing about collecting past Baseball legends is you never have to worry about guys like Mantle failing a drug test, or Ruth getting a DUI/DWI (depending on where you live). Gehrig won't be indicted by the Feds and DiMaggio will not get arrested for beating his wife. If you're one of the millions of collectors who was burned by their hero getting busted, outed and/or sued and you now find you can't get ten cents on the dollar for their memorabilia, then it's time for you to take a good long look into starting a vintage collection. Those of you who already are well into collecting vintage memorabilia, I'm just preaching to the choir.   This is a TYPE 1 original photo as it DOES NOT illuminate under a black light and has been examined under a 100x microscope and clearly is a first generation vintage photo printed from the original negative at or near the time it was taken and is GUARANTEED to pass PSA/DNA photograph authentication as such, or I will refund you your money plus shipping!    Bid with complete confidence as my feedback will show well over 1900 flawless transactions over my nine plus years of trading on ebay. Images of this caliber rarely come up for sale anymore, as anyone reading this is most likely well aware of the status of the high-end vintage Baseball photo market. You'll never regret adding this terrific rare piece to your collection... you'll only regret it if you don't.    SECURE INSURED PRIORITY MAIL is FREE.
