Apologies in advance for any image quality issues.. Had to greatly reduce images to fit...photo on left back with to the right of it...

Picked up these photos and not sure what is what here. There are 4 photos, 3 are apparently from the 1922 All-Star team tour to the Far East. One measures 9 9/16"w X 7 9/16"h with the list of players on the back left.. The second with a UPI stamp and list of players on the back is an 8 x10 and appears to be a blown up copy of the first one.

The 3rd photo is 9 7/8"w x 7 7/8"h in dress duds with wives. Back mentions Japan, Hong Kong, Manila, Shanghai and Peking.

The 4th photo is also an 8 x10 with the apparent 1923 All Star team in dress clothes with a UPI stamp and list of players..

The 8 x10's are in great shape - no wrinkles, rips etc. The smaller 1922 photo has a small hole bottom left and some wrinkles. The other photo with players and wives seems warped but otherwise in good shape...

Is this a great find or sort of run of the mill stuff?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Need to see items in person to tell you for sure, but the first one does look vintage, maybe original. Third one looks old, but not sure. The ones with the UPI stamps are modern. UPI came into being in, off hand, 1958. Though not originals, later made UPI photos doe have some value as they are official photos by a new service.

David nailed the 1958 date! As Darth Vader would say... Impressive!

Great thanks for the help! I think the third one is probably an original as it seems like same paper as the first..

Now to figure out what to do with them...
