Yeah, the Poloroid is telling me someone caught him off guard and harassed him for an autograph after.
The card is nice, but an index card would have been perfect. I like it.
I wonder if I can find two index cards signed by my favorite 2 Marlins.
If the photo was something special, such as him behind his desk, or even hugging the guy who took it- then I understand. But the image isn't special to begin with, and you can find millions of photos of The Boss.
Those photos from before 1950 are sometimes the only item you can get of a guy who never was asked for his signature, and of a time when memorabilia wasn't mass produced. This Polaroid is an example of that "Instant Collectible" world we live in. Those old photos of the Babe and Gehrig are the antithesis of that.
