A few years ago (when I originally bought mine), there were quite a number of these types of Negro League pieces originating out of the Midwest. I also owned an individual Satchel Paige photo that also turned out to be a fake and I lost some money on that one also.

You could be right Phil. Hard to tell without having it in hand I guess. I had several similar style photos last year that came within a collection of older material I wasn't sure about either.

I ended up selling them on Ebay as a group of unknown dated photo prints, including Paige (to a Net54 member), for a song.

Actually, I ended up giving them away for free because our cat puked on some of them between the auction listing and when I shipped them out LOL!!!

The cat probably knew something I didn't.
