BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Thirteen MLB and Pop Culture Photographic Prints Featuring Baseball Legends
This is a collection of thirteen (13) photographic prints, primarily 8 x 10 inches in size, depicting various Major League Baseball (MLB) legends and iconic pop culture moments. The set includes both black-and-white and color imagery on modern photographic paper. Featured players include Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Harmon Killebrew, Bob Feller, Pee Wee Reese, and Phil Rizzuto. The collection also contains prints depicting historic events such as Bobby Thomson’s 1951 home run and the Chicago Cubs’ Ron Santo in the on-deck circle. Several prints feature Marilyn Monroe, including a wedding portrait with Joe DiMaggio and group social shots. One color print shows the cast of the television show Seinfeld with Yankees players Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams. Many of the prints bear signatures in blue or dark ink corresponding to the subjects, including Mantle, Williams, Mays, Killebrew, DiMaggio, Feller, Reese, Rizzuto, Thomson, Santo, and Hal Newhouser. These signatures are not accompanied by third-party authentication or certificates of authenticity and appear to be pre-printed facsimiles common to reproduction memorabilia.
Dimensions: 8 x 10 inches each.
Condition report:
The photographic prints are in good overall condition. The paper shows no significant signs of creasing, tearing, or moisture damage. Colors and black-and-white tones remain sharp. The signatures are unauthenticated and are consistent with facsimile markings found on modern reproduction prints.
