Default George Grantham Bain photo

Posted By: Rhys

I remember those photos Dan, didn't you also buy the Frank Chance day photos from me at about the same time? Bain photos and many of the other period news service photographers used a slick paper to produce their photos. Snapshots from back then were usually done on a different type of paper. If I remember right, the photos you have were probably either a local photographer, or someone who was shooting these for personal purposes, maybe even one of the players or a team photographer or something. I dont think those are news photos Dan, but just "photos" for whatever that is worth but they are ABSOLUTELY Type 1 period photos.

On the Doyle photo, I am guessing it is worth in the $25-$50 range. You can get a period Bain photo of Doyle for between $65-$100 so a Seidman re-shoot is probably half that or less.

You did fine with the one you bought last night. Hall of Famers typically sell well and Robinson is a popular subject.
