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. James Elmer Gantner was born in 1953 in Fond Du Lac, WI and went to college at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. He played major league baseball from 1976 to 1992 as 2nd baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers, and appeared in the 1982 World Series. He was nicknamed "Gumby" for his running style. After his career, Gantner ran the River Coffee House, and Hale Park Automotive Services, both in the Milwaukee area, and worked with the Brewers as a coach. He was the team's first-base coach in 1996-97.He was also the field manager for the Wisconsin Woodchucks of the college-age Northwoods League in 2007. 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.
