(LOT 156)
1931 New York Yankees Team Image - PSA Type 1 Encapsulated Cosmo-Sileo Photo – Includes 10 Hall of Famers w/Ruth & Gehrig - Measures Approx. 8" x 10" – PSA Type 1 LOA

The 1931 Yankees would win a formidable 94 games, led by a remarkable 10 Hall of Famers including six of those Cooperstown Inductees in their starting lineup (Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri, Dickey, Combs and Sewell), three standout pitchers (Gomez, Ruffing and Pennock) and manager Joe McCarthy. Unfortunately for the Bronx Bombers, their fine season would be overmatched by Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics who would tally 107 wins to win the American League by 13-1/2 games. Once again the slugging tandem of the "Sultan of Swat" and "Iron Horse" would dominate the league with those two baseball immortals combining for 92 homers and an unfathomable 346 R.B.I.'s!

This outstanding 1931 Yankees team photo ironically portrays 31 individuals including the ten aforementioned Cooperstown Inductees, and other than the 1930 & 1932 Yankees team photos likewise included in this auction, it would be a near-impossible task to find another team image reflecting "double-digit" Hall of Famers. All the players and coaches are donning their classic Yankee pinstripes, and this 8" x 10" Cosmo-Sileo offering portrays absolutely brilliant contrast and resolution. No obtrusive flaws are evident, with the only blemishes worthy of mention being two lower corner diminutive chips that are rendered virtually negligible versus the breathtaking central image. A small white caption reading "A-1504 – 1931 – COSMO-SILEO – NEW YORK" is situated in the lower right quadrant, the final superlative for a Yankees team image that is fully loaded with some of our National Pastime's greatest stars!
