it Baseball Antiquities is proud to congratulate the 2004 World Champion Boston Red Sox. 86 years in the waiting, Babe Ruth has finally given his nod to the Red Sox, lifting the "Curse of the Bambino" and bringing us a new page in baseball history. To commemorate this historic event we present a rare and authentic moment in baseball history, photographs of the 1915 World Series champion Boston Red Sox, including Babe Ruth pitching for the Red Sox his first full year in the Major Leauge.

it We are offering these players in a limited edition of 11"x14" silver gelatin prints. Each image is printed by hand, directly from the original 1915 glass plate negative on museum-quality, acid-free paper. This time consuming artisan process yields outstanding results. The photographs exhibit a clarity and level of detail rarely found in pictures of this vintage. You can even clearly see the dirt and tobacco juice on their uniforms! Each individual print is hand numbered, embossed with the Baseball Antiquities Ltd. seal, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, and packaged in its own museum-quality, linen-covered portfolio. A boxed team set of the Red Sox is also available in more limited quantities. These original Baseball photographs are of the highest historical value. Great care has been taken to preserve and present these images in an outstanding and dignified manner. We hope you will find these vintage images to be as fascinating and inspiring as we do.

Limited Edition
The 11"x14" silver gelatin prints have been limited to only 1,000 world-wide for Hall of Famer Harry Hooper, Bill Carrigan with Tris Speaker, and John "Zip" Collins. Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb are limited to 5,000 world-wide but will most likely not reach their limit due to the fragile nature of the glass-plate negatives. Each individual print is numbered, imprinted with the Baseball Antiquities Ltd. seal, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, and packaged in its own museum-quality, linen-covered portfolio.

1915 Boston Red Sox Team Set
A very limited edition 1915 Boston Red Sox World Series Championship team set is available, limited to only 1,000 numbered sets world-wide and includes two pictures of Babe Ruth, Harry Hooper, Bill Carrigan and Tris Speaker, and these players: Barry, Thomas, Cady, Wagner, Gardner, Janvrin, Shore and Gregg. This set is packaged in a large museum-quality linen-covered portfolio box. Please inquire about set pricing.

Hall of Fame Special Collection
A HOF matched number set is also available, including two pictures of Ruth, a Ty Cobb, Bill Carrigan and Tris Speaker, and Harry Hooper. Please inquire about set pricing.

Glass-Plate Negatives

It is unusual to find 89 year-old negatives unharmed; it is extraordinary to find them in almost perfect condition, still residing in their original envelopes. The clarity and detail of these vintage photos must be seen to be believed. Each image is printed by hand, directly from the original 1915 glass plate negative on museum-quality, acid-free paper.
