Even if the team and players are obscure, a nice large 1870s mounted baseball photo will have good value. It depends on condition and aesthetics, but players wearing white shoes and bib uniforms and a lemon peal ball will be most desirable. The catcher's mask was invented in the 1870s, so this would be an early picture of that equipment. Pre-1880 baseball photos are limited, with large version especially desirable.
