Dont take it too hard, as Dan said, a lot of people got to own some cool photos and I bought 20-30 myself so I am glad I got them. It was just sad to see some of the ones on back cut in half. We live and learn though, for example, DO NOT try to soak out HM Taylor postcards, Dietche postcards, or Clement Brothers bread cards (from experience here) the ink is water soluable and it will run all over the place and ruin the cards.

Lot #216: Circa 1870s Baseball Tintype Photo - Featuring Henry Chadwick

Lot description:

This 1/4-plate (3-1/2" x 4-1/2" oval) tintype pictures four gentlemen at leisure; the man at the foreground has been labeled "Henry Chadwick" in pencil across his lapels. The image is housed in an elaborate case as was typical for the period, and the depiction's quality is strong, minimally EX in appearance. Chadwick was a significant figure in baseball's development. Reputedly termed "The Father of Baseball" by none other than President Theodore Roosevelt, Hall of Famer Chadwick is credited with inventing the box score for games, as well as pioneering an emphasis on the recording and analysis of player statistics.

Minimum Bid: $100

Legendary does not mention the provenance previously claimed on this thread:

"Provenance:The photo came to the market directly from his great grandaughter."

It will be interesting to see how the bidders feel about this image.

Looks like the item was removed.
