Lot #8, the photo of Walter Johnson dated May 15, 1913, was taken at Hilltop Park, where the Yankees played their last season in 1912. (The tall buildings beyond the outfield fence make this an easy identification.) Based on the road uniform that Johnson is wearing, I believe that this photo was taken in 1910 or 1911. (In 1913, the Senators had a pinstriped road uniform with a dark cap.)
Regardless, it's a great photo.
Edited to add: I'm sorry I overlooked the "don't post them on here please", but I think the error is minor and does not negatively impact the value of the photo. If anything, the correct ID will increase the value by placing the location in a long-gone ballpark.
