Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>On the photo linked to there are two signatures for each player. On the original photo, there were only one faux signature per player. In Mastro and perhaps elsewhere, there are examples of this photo signed by the players-- pre-printed and hand signatures ... The original photo itself would be valuable even with just the pre-printed autographs. I don't recall the measurements, but the originals I've seen are very large for the day. If the antique shop one is 8x10, it's probably a reprint.
