DATE SHOT: Spring 1985 SUBJECT: Fred Lynn 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. Fredric Michael Lynn was born in 1952 in Chicago, IL and went to college at the University of Southern California. He played major league baseball from 1974 to 1990 as outfielder for the Boston Red Sox, California Angels, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers and the San Diego Padres, appeared in the 1975 World Series, and was selected 9 times as an All-Star. Lynn was the first player to win the American League MVP and Rookie of the Year Award in the same year (1975). He also played for Team USA in the 1971 Pan American Games. He led the Games with four home runs as the US won Silver. When the US played Gold Medal winner Cuba, Lynn homered in a 4-3 loss. 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.
