Default Photo Collecting

Posted By: davidcycleback

You can usually tell if a photo is vintage or modern reprint by looking at the physical photograph.
With a Charles Conlon photo of Nap Lajoie, for example, a collector can can know that it's original.

Some old photos have aging effects that happen over many years, so a collector can see things that
prove the photo old.

There are about 3 million T206 reprints, including countless made from home computers, yet an avid
T206 collector can know the Hugh Jennings he just received in the mail is original.
