Posted By: <b>Rob L</b><p>What is everyone's opinion on this one. It's being sold as a baseball tintype but I'm not sure.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1092955581.JPG">

Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>Perhaps that's what killed James Creighton-- he caught his bat on his watch fob.<br /><br />The rule is that the tintype will receive full baseball premium (which is considerable) if there there is no question it is a baseball scene. For example, baseball equipment (bat, ball, mask, etc) will prove it is a baseball tintype.<br /><br />If you can come up with a variety possibilities for what the image shows (It could be baseball, but it could be rowers or fireman or walkers), it won't receive baseball money.

Posted By: <b>Jeff S</b><p>David might not concur, but my rule is:<br /><br />If there's no ball hanging from a string at the top of the image, it's not a baseball photo.<br /><br />At least, it's not one worth owning!

Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>The baseball hanging from a string is an Old Judge/Goodwin & Co thing. You will find it almost no where else.
