By the way, Leon your New Orleans team photo came from a book not a magazine, THE BOOK OF BASEBALL, by Patten and Mcspadden, 1911, pages 115-116.

I concur entirely with your post. It particularly irks me when well-known sellers who know better refer to this New Orleans photo as coming from a "folio", implying it was meant to be removed from the book. Complete crap.
