A few Burke Photo Questions and Burke Show'em thread.

[Abravefan11]

I have a few George Burke photos and had a couple of questions.

1) Can I expect there to be numerous examples of the photos I own?

2) If so how many?

3) Are there first run photos and then copies and a way to tell them apart?

4) Does anyone know the meaning of the catalog numbers on the backs?

Here are the three I have.

Yours are originals, first run as you said. There are later reprints, but they have different stamping. There will be some other examples, but not a lot. The serial number is the number identifying the negative used. The original negatives were probably filed in envelopes with the identical numbers on the outside. Many professional photos have similar i.d. numbers, sometimes written on back.

1935 Burke Stamp.
I think I am nearing 150 - 200 different stamps. I am slowly picking them up as I see them come available at a reasonable price.

That about sums it up . A classic Gehrig.

Great photo, Mark. Burke was certainly a master at those 'soft' shots.
