The photo came in. It's on paper stock like the page, with the die cut picture, was in an album before. You can see the albumen in the photo under magnification... My 2nd oldest baseball item. Very happy to add it to my eclectic collection... btw, it's not crayon

But if it smells and feels like crayon, it's crayon. |
