Does anyone collect vintage sports photographs?

If so, what do you collect and why?

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    I do but not even close to the extent of cards. I just grabbed the new photo thats my new avatar. It's the same image but I grabbed an auto'd copy. For me it's been so far just Sabres and as for why it's going to be eye candy for the man cave.

    I used to go for boxing autos TTM.

    Rex Layne, Tunny Hunsaker are a few that come to mind.

    Some enjoyed corresponding.

    Wish I had stayed with it.

    Will start again over at Blowout cards fantasy league TTM auto

    I could see Dempsey, Ali, Etc...

    That has always been my passion

    Sorry I thought you meant autos

  • Boxing autos are awesome. I have been trying to piece together a partial 1951 Ringside autograph set (some of the boxers on the card were dead when the cards were printed). I'd like to get a Jack Johnson one day.

    Over the last decade, I've purchased a lot of slides and negatives from sports photographers and from newspapers whom have digitized all of the originals.

    Hiya Joe

    Don't collect them as such - as a focus.

    Do pick some up as a "companion" to something else that I collect.

    Haven't post yet but e.g. I picked up a new service photo to companion with a WS press pass and both press pins from 1972.

    Will post down the road - I tend not to post that kind of stuff since I usually get a gaggle of crickets on stuff like that.
