Incredible collection are all by Marv Axelrod, legendary official photographer for the Cleveland Indians who also worked in football boxing, hockey, tennis and more. Predominately 1970s-90s baseball, all were shot in Cleveland. There are some 2.25" full color transparencies from '70s-90s and the rest are 35mm, both color and b/w. Such stars are represented as Warren Spahn, Steve Carlton, Mike Schmidt, Derek Jeter, Reggie Jackson, plus Indians such as Dennis Eckersley, Chris Chambliss, Thome, Vizquel, M. Ramirez and more. Marv contributed all over the map and even includes a signed copy of his "Coaching Winning Baseball" featuring his photographs. Other pieces include eight (8) color slides from the 1975 Muhammad Ali & Chuck Wepner press conference along with images on b/w 35mm (20), Olga Korbut in action at "The Coliseum" (250+), Cleveland Barons action shots vs. Red Wings/Bruins/Penguins/Blackhawks, Gerry Cheevers (Bruins & Crusaders), Cleveland Nets tennis with Bjorn Borg (5), handful of 1970s Buffalo Bills, and much more. Attesting to the quality of his work, Marv's 9000+ original hockey negatives are in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
