DATE SHOT: Spring 1985 SUBJECT: Tony Gwynn 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. Anthony Keith Gwynn was born in 1960 in Los Angeles, CA and died in 2014 in Poway, CA. He went to college at San Diego State University. He played major league baseball from 1982 to 2001 as outfielder for the San Diego Padres, appeared in the 1984 and 1998 World Series, was selected 15 times as an All-Star, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007. Gwynn received the 1995 Rickey Branch Award, 1998 Lou Gehrigh Memorial Award, 1999 Roberto Clemente Award, and earned 5 Gold Glove Awards and 7 Silver Slugger Awards over the course of his career. Gwynn was also drafted by the San Diego Clippers of the NBA (the day after being selected by the Padres). After retiring, he became head coach of the San Diego State University baseball program and a part-time television analyst for ESPN's baseball broadcasts. 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.
