Also, looking at those George Grantham Baine photos at the LOA, he had to be one of the greatest baseball photographers ever. Some of those photos are incredible.

Baine's are pretty straightforeward to authenticate as well. They are usually small (some like snapshots), and will have his name or 'Baine News Service' stamped on the back. I beleive he died either during or just before WWII and the Baine News Service dissapeared, so the two mentioned stamps are signficant. Many also will have a 'Culver' stamp, with Culver being an photo archives that later owned many of the photos. Baine's photos are tough to find, but not always so expensive.
