I might let a conservator look at it but I can't imagine I would try to do very much to an image that has survived as well as it has for so long. My main concern is any type of deterioration. So in that respect if there is any kind of stabilizing that could be done, I would consider it. Also, taking the paper off the back might not be smart as it is quite identifying the way it is. There is virtually no leap of faith needed for the exact year and person, which seems unusual on very early baseball photos.
