Upper
Deck has announced they have aquired the portfolio of photographer Don
Wingfield. From the 1940's through the 1970, Wingfield's subjects ranged
from presidents to ball players. He was the on-field photographer for
Notre Dame's football team and had his work appear in The Sporting
News and Look. Wingfield is credited for making some of the
first "action" pictures highlighting the shear physicality
of sports.
Upper Deck's aquisition has more than 6,000 photos. They will be incorporated into future card sets and into the Upper Deck Authenticated program.
