DATE SHOT: Spring 1985 SUBJECT: Jeff Reardon 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. Jeffrey James Reardon (The Terminator) was born in 1955 in Dalton, MA and went to college at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He played major league baseball from 1979 to 1994 as pitcher for the New York Mets, Montreal Expos, Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds and the New York Yankees, appeared in the 1987 and 1992 World Series, and was selected 4 times as an All-Star. Reardon was arrested for robbing a jewelry store in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida on December 26, 2005. He gave the employees a note that he had a gun, and then he made off with an unknown amount of cash. He was arrested later at a restaurant. His lawyer told authorities that depression medication that Reardon was taking was to blame. Reardon had been on the medication since his 20 year-old son died of a drug overdose. 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.
