Some help PLEASE!!
 

Posted By: <b>a66cobra</b><p>Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this card? The picture seems to be somehow affixed to the backing and the backing seems quite rigid and is approximately a 1/16th to 1/8th thick. It presents itself well, I just want to know if anyone may have some info.<BR><BR>Thanks. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1080693438.JPG">

Some help PLEASE!!
 

Posted By: <b>Cycleback</b><p>It's not a baseball card but an early 1900s photograph of a baseball player. In the old days the photographer would often paste the paper photograph to an ornate and/or colorful cardboard backing in order to protect the image and make it displayable.

Some help PLEASE!!

Some help PLEASE!!

Some help PLEASE!!
 

Posted By: <b>a66cobra</b><p>Yes, I was thinking that it could be a young Big Train...and W for Washington. And have been struggling with what type of monitary value to place on this item. Overall presence is outstanding and I do not plan on parting with it, it is just one of those things that are good to know more about. I have never seen one similar to this and most certainly have never seen this picture before.
