I wouldn't call them proofs. But Huggins & Scott had some cards with corresponding Burke photos and I thought they were great. The lots struck me as neat ways to collect.
The silvering on the Dimaggio is common to Pre War old photos, though oridnarilly not that heavy. A big positive is it is proof the photo is old, as silvering only appears after numerous decades. If you find a 1910 Ty Cobb or a rookie era Joe Dimaggio and it has silvering, you can be near certain it is vintage. I compare it to an UDA hologram but certifying old age.
