DATE SHOT: Spring 1985 SUBJECT: Charlie Lea APPROXIMATE SIZE: 35mm in standard slide mount MARKS / STAMPING: Mount is pre-printed with team name, player identification and position. TYPE CLASSIFICATION: Original Promo Slide COMMENTS / CONDITION: This is positive film that can be viewed with a backlight source without having to invert the image. As with original negatives, it can be used to produce high-quality photographic prints (no print is included with this item though). This is one of a large number of sports promo slides that I will be listing in the coming weeks. Wear on these, if any, is mostly confined to the mount's edges, but see scans for further details including film condition. We do not deal in stock images or modern reprints, and all scans shown are of the actual vintage photograph, slide or negative being sold. If you have any questions about a particular piece, please ask before the auction ends. Charles William Lea was born in 1956 in Orleans, France and died in 2011 in Collierville, TN. He went to college at the University of Memphis. He played major league baseball from 1980 to 1988 as pitcher for the Montreal Expos and the Minnesota Twins, and was selected in 1984 as an All-Star. Because his career was cut short by injuries just as he was being recognized as one of baseball's best starting pitchers, Charlie Lea has been largely forgotten. However, from 1980 to 1984, he was a key member of one of baseball's best pitching staffs and probably the Montreal Expos' most consistent pitcher over the period. Explanation of Type Classifications: Type 1 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within two years of when the shot was taken). Type 2 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during a later period (more than two years after the shot was taken). Type 3 = A 2nd generation photograph, developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during the period. Type 4 = A 2nd generation photograph (or 3rd or later generation), developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during a later period. Original = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, which appears to be of the period but for which a print date cannot be determined for definitive Type classification. Essentially, a photo we feel is a Type 1, but which lacks certain elements necessary for definitive dating of the print.
