Picked up this photo of Joe for pretty cheap. I think it is a news wire photo, and it seems to have all the right stamps on the back.

I know nothing about wire photos. How do you tell if it is from the correct time period? Do people reprint/fake them?
Maybe I am too paranoid, but I always presume that anyone will reprint/fake anything if there is money in it.

If this is "legit", the date on the back makes it one of the earliest photos of Joe in a Yankees uniform I have ever seen (although I have seen one from about two weeks prior to this date once).

Any information from one of you experts would be great.

Just to be clear, I am definitely NOT suggesting the seller scammed me or anything like that; I just have no idea about this stuff.

Needless to say, if this is from the date it says it is, I am STOKED to add it to my DiMaggio collection.
