An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Slide, Kelly, Slide! the 1927 Edward Sedgwick silent New York Yankees romantic baseball sports melodrama (one of the most popular baseball movies ever made, about a phenomenal New York Yankees rookie baseball pitcher who alienates all the fans with his cocky attitude; he romances the daughter of a veteran catcher on the team; he gets drunk before a major game, and acts disgracefully, causing him to be fired, and causes the batboy who worshiped him to hate him; in the deciding game of the World Series, the Yankees run out of pitchers, and the batboy runs out to find the fired star, and is hit by a truck, and the young star not only pitches the end of the game, but also scores the winning run; the batboy recovers, the young star redeems himself, and is loved by everyone!) starring William Haines (in the title role as Jim Kelly), Sally O'Neil, Harry Carey Sr., Frank Coghlan Jr. (billed as "Junior Coghlan"; as the batboy), Warner Richmond, and Karl Dane. Note that Haines is a "hick" from Pottstown, Iowa, and when he first arrives at the Yankees, he is wearing his Pottstown uniform on the field, and some of the advertising for the movie has him with a Pottstown jersey rather than a New York Yankees jersey.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this insert, and that was 6 years ago, when it sold for $802! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had a few pinholes, creases, small tears, and small paper loss around the edges, and a few scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
