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.

George Thomas Seaver (Tom Terrific) was born in 1944 in Fresno, CA and went to college at the University of Southern California. He played major league baseball from 1967 to 1986 as pitcher for the New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, Chicago White Sox and the Boston Red Sox, appeared in the 1969 and 1973 World Series, was selected 12 times as an All-Star, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992. He was the 1967 National League Rookie of the Year, won Cy Young Awards in 1969, 1973 and 1975, and was the National League Pitcher of the Year in 1969 and 1975. Tom Seaver was one of the greatest pitchers of the 20th Century, winning 311 games. He also wrote the classic book The Art of Pitching. Of all the members of the Hall of Fame, he came closest to election by acclamation with 425 of 430 (98.84%) possible votes. Seaver has been a television broadcaster for the New York Yankees from 1989 to 1993 and for the New York Mets since 1999.

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.
