I would be careful with these. I think they were reproduced maybe in 1962 for a commemoration . Some value, but not what a real original was. 40 or so bucks prob for the later one. I wouldn't have an idea how to tell the difference either. sorry.

The real one is huge. Google it, and you will find the real one in one of the large auction houses. Scott is right that your version was made in the early 1960s, and he is also correct about the value. The real ones go for 2-3000 I think.
It is still a cool piece as I believe it was distributed at Fenway during the early 1960s. I own one of these now (paid 20 for it) but lost over 100.00 several years ago on another example (I think I paid around 150 and sold it for 40).

yes, the smaller version is probably from a 50th anniversary celebration (1962), the original is much larger on thinner paper. i have also seen the original panaramic photo upon which this was based. i also remember at one time thinking that the 1962 version might have also been reproduced. still a nicely done piece, and now 50 years old itself.

That's my understanding also, a give away in 1962 commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1912 championship. At one time these were common, I haven't seen one for a few years, $40 would be reasonable.
Here's the original, I have this one hanging on my game room wall. The photographic print measures 25.5 x 9 inches, framed it's 30 x 13.5 inches.
