I have an old shot that I picked up years ago and my wife had framed up with a T206 and T207 from my collection when we first got married. I found the frame in a box recently, removed the cards and realized the photo was actually Fenway, from the 1940's. Its small 2.5" square, with the image at 1.5" square. I scanned it in, and was able to match up the billboards and the BUCK printing company sign. You can't make out the players, but it is a nice old nostalgic shot.
Is there any value to such a thing? As a Yankee fan, I am not attached to it, though I appreciate what it is. Let me know your thoughts!

As a student of the game, I dig the image, just not my team, but maybe someone out there would really appreciate it. The image is more washed out than the scan, but you can still make out the details, and the outfits of the folks in the stands.

Hey Brian,
Appears to be candid original snapshot photo. Pretty neat. They do typically have value. However, value can be all over the place with snapshot photos because, most of the time they're an unique 1/1 image.
Everything sells for a price!!
