A few of the more notable names present in this collection include Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Ken Caminiti, Billy Wagner, Steve Finley, Luis Gonzalez, Doug Drabek, Mike Hampton, Darryl Kile, Mitch Williams, Phil Nevin and Bobby Abreu amongst hundreds of others. Sporting News Hologram. (B0885)
Originating directly from the vaults of "The Sporting News", the full color negative slides produce the highest quality of images. "The Sporting News" employed the very best professional photographers, and the images submitted to the paper were the best of the best. Each image was hand selected for subject, clarity, and vibrant full color. Although there is no actual print offered, (negative only), you have the ability to produce a full color vibrant print for your own personal use.
Each full color negative slide measures approximately 1 ¾" x 2 ¼" and is housed in an protective envelope which bears the official "The Sporting News" hologram, used to insure the pedigree of each image.
