This photo was on eBay a couple of years ago, never sold as it had a ridiculous asking price.
My opinion, and don’t quote me on it but I believe it’s a reproduction as was the one on eBay, probably the exact same one.
About 8-9 years ago or more there was a seller on eBay selling repro Negro baseball photos that were in old frames to make it look like they were really old and original and they all had this same look to them as the Tigers photo you have.
I want to say the seller was out of Ohio but not 100% sure.
Just my thoughts.
