Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>Has anyone ever seen this before. It is a 1936 New York Yankees photograph. On the reverse it has the George Burke stamp. I'm not sure if it's original, but if it was, what would be the ballpark value and is it scarce? It measures 6-1/6 x 4". Thanks,<br /><br />James<br /><br /><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/brooksie05/burke_photo.jpg">

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Burke's address was 847 Belmont Avenue, Chicago in the 1930s-40s. If the stamp has that address, the photo is vintage. With that stamp and the rookie Joe DiMaggio, it would be both scarce in in high demand. Off hand, I don't recall seeing this particular Burke Yankees photo before, but know he was photographing the Yankee player, including DiMaggio, at that time.<br /><br />
