Not impossible I suppose, but that's just been my experience. Either way though, it is a great shot of Klein, and well worth owning and showing off. Congrats!
It would be unusual not to have at least some form of burke stamping whether it by the actual studio stamp, player name format or file number..but like lance said, not impossible. It certainly happens. Also, the 8x10 format is one that he produced(along with many others) I know Henry has handled thousands of burkes... either way it IS a AWESOME IMAGE. CONGRATS!
