Vintage baseball photos: questions
 
Posted By: <b>Alan Elefson</b><p>Hi-<br /> Please see the scans below of two old baseball "photos" I recently picked up at an antique auction (they came in a lot with a few other baseball photos and am RPC). I would like to classify them if possible, so I have a few questions for the board:<br />1. What type of photograph is this? My guesses range from a really cheap way of getting a picture to some sort of preapproval print, or just a bit of scrap paper the photographer decided to develop on. Or, is it just cut from something larger?<br />2. Based upon either the type of photo or the scant detail that can be gleaned from the small images, can anyone give an approximate year range for these items? <br />3. As usual, any other information would be greatly appreciated.<br />Thanks in advance,<br />Alan Elefson<br />aelefson@hotmail.com<br /><img src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h262/aelefson/June14200811.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h262/aelefson/June14200810.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h262/aelefson/June1420089.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h262/aelefson/June14200812.jpg">

Vintage baseball photos: questions
 
Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Hey Alan, they are "snapshots" circa 1910-20s. Not a whole lot of value as they look to be small town team action shots. The paper is a little thicker than normal snapshots, but the person who developed the photos probably just used what he had on hand.
