The Connie Mack/Bender is from the 1940s-50s, as the snapshots with deckled edges like that are from that time period. Notice the other 1940s-50s snapshots in this thread with the deckle edges. The photo is definitely 50+ years also, but not circa 1910.

I've seen a few deckle edge snapshots of big stars like Cobb and Joe Jackson, so there may have been a professional photographer like Jim Rowe or George Brace selling them commercially. I know for a fact that Rowe commercially sold straight-edge snapshot size photos of Pre-War baseball stars circa 1950s. As they were sold commercially, I assume meant to be collected and are trading card size, one could classify the just mentioned Rowe photos as baseball cards.

I'm not an appraiser, but I've only seen a handful at most of the deckle edge snapshots of Pre-War players. Perhaps not valuable, but they are uncommon. In fact, I've only seen (and owned) one collection of about 100 of the straight edge Rowe snapshot photos containing Pre-War stars (Ruth, Gehrig, Young, Cobb et al). The photos didn't have Rowe's name anywhere on them, but came in the original mailing box with the original typed receipt/note to customer from Rowe-- which is why I can vouch for who made them and that they were commercial items.
