Sticker on Back of Babe Ruth Photo
Need some help from the photo experts out there. I know, this is probably the worst snapshot anyone has posted to ask for help with but the photo is mounted and glued on almost all edges so this is the best camera shot I could get while lifting up an edge. Does anyone recognize what this small sticker on the reverse would mean? I can't tell if it 's a glued on piece of paper, or a sticker, it reads m 70232 . It's a photo from approx. the thirties so maybe just a date designating July 2, 1932? Any input is much appreciated, thank you.

Your guess is as as good as mine. Old photos often have serial/catalog numbers on them, but they're often to usually unrelated to the date, or at least in some unobvious code. I don't know whether or not you are trying to determine if the photo is original or just the date. Ordinarily, when the date was stamped or written on a photo, it was in obvious date text ('July 2, 32'). Yours could be the date, but it could be random number coincidence. I rarely even try to decipher catalog codes on photos, unless they clearly refer to something tangible. If a catalog code is 'Cy_Young456abc,' I'll take it that it's of Cy Young. If it's '12653ggh33,' I don't worry about it
You are correct. That was the worst photo ever Looks like a scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Last edited by drcy; 03-04-2014 at 12:21 PM. |
