SUBJECT: Kirk Gibson

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.

Kirk Harold Gibson was born in 1957 in Pontiac, MI and went to college at Michigan State University. He played major league baseball from 1979 to 1995 as outfielder for the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, Kansas City Royals and the Pittsburgh Pirates, and appeared in the 1984 and 1988 World Series. Gibson was also an All-American football wide receiver at Michigan State University. He was also a television broadcaster for the Detroit Tigers from 1998 to 2002 and the Tigers bench coach from 2003 to 2005. He was named bench coach of the Arizona Diamondbacks following in 2007, then on July 1, 2010 succeeded A.J. Hinch as the team's manager.

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.
