Miller Huggins Photograph

Can someone please let me know whether this is an authentic/vintage photograph, and whether it has any value? I know nothing about photographs.

Thanks!

Appears to be a Type 1 Original dating to 1921-28, with remnants of the original paper caption remaining affixed at the bottom. Value is in the eyes of the beholder, and the tear encroaching on Miller's head and the clipped corner don't help, but it would still have some value.

It appears original/authentic and would have some value.

Thanks guys --can you ballpark for me "some value"? Over/under $100?

Under $100.

It's a nice vintage photo with a nice portrait with some condition issues. Miller died in 1929 so there is a limited supply of originals. But he is minor HOFer, so there won't be the demand as with a photo of Ruth or Cobb.

I'm not an active buyer of photos anymore, so may be rusty on my pricing.

Cool. Thanks for the info!

Id say 50-60 tops in that shape. Miller being a Yankee helps the price spike a bit. Image is nice tho, which is key

I don't like missing parts of photos, like missing corners. But, as just mentioned, it's a very nice image-- an attractive closeup with pinstripes. All the other wear and tear is fairly normal for a period news photo. Old news photos close to always have some wear and tear and signs of use.

Yeah, I love the image. He looks like he's thinking of something clever or off-color to say. And his face is really well captured and in clear focus.

I basically got it for nothing, so any value is good value.

Thanks again for all of the tips!
