Default Need some help with a few Vintage Pictures

Hello everyone! I'm new here but have a few questions on a recent flea market find. My uncle and I can't find any info on them. The first two measure 7 X 8 1/2 and the satchel paige measures 11 X 8 2/3. The team photo is of the Homestead Grays. Also the backs are blank. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Without more info the top one could be either Rube Foster or Dick "Cannonball" Redding...my best guess. The second one is the Homestead Grays, but I could not say what year

Picture resolution on the images posted look really bad. Top one is Rube Foster. Middle one has Josh Gibson among others. Bottom is Sachel Paige.

These all look like reprints to me. Cue insults and the reasons why I'm an idiot and don't know what I'm talking about.

They certainly could be reprints, but I can't tell if the pics are grainy or if it's the glass from the first two. I think if you posted scans of the photos out of the frames, both front and back, we'll be able to offer better opinions on these.

The fact that they are all recognizable guys spanning decades in the Negro Leagues all found together at a flea market is slightly suspicious.

Reprints, artificially aged.

Thanks for the input guys. I will try and get some better pics(my scanner is broken). I don't know anything about pictures but from collecting older cards I notice they have that "vintage smell". Should I try and send them to get authenticated or should I not even bother?

Rick,
I would first post better pics. There are many very knowledgeable photo collectors here who will give you a pretty reliable opinion on whether or not they appear real. I wouldn't bother wasting your money and sending them in if everyone here is leaning toward reprints.

I wouldn't bother with authentication. These are the same style fakes that have been floating around for years.
