Has anyone seen this picture of King Kelly before?
Thoughts on authenticity?

with the description! Looks like a program to me with a paper insert with the same photo as used for the Four Base Hits Kelly (a.k.a. Leon's card). $20-$30 maybe? I can't imagine it being worth significant coin.....

Now that you mentioned it Tom, it is very close...might not be bad as an ancillary item for the card......regards

Not to suggest that it isn't a nice publication, but .... "rectangular piece of paper stapled together with other rectangular pieces of paper" ... Isn't this kind of like a book page?

The funny thing is that old baseball publications are popular and usually rare, and a nice little 1894 publication with a memorial page about Kelly will likely sell for much more than a paper suppliment single (which are never in favor, as anyone trying to sell a Baseball Magazine will tell you). So, I beleive he does himself a disservice by bleeping over the publication part in an attempt to make one of the pages into a 'trading card.' .... Still, seems like an interesting item.
