Help a newbie on this Vintage Williams photo...

[jbhofmann]

Not even sure if I'm in the right forum or not. Bought this piece not to long ago because it looked so much like his '49 Leaf card and really don't know much about it. The sig is PSA/DNA certified but I am really interested in the photo itself. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Is it worth sending to PSA or whoever to have them look at it?

***Added a Leaf Williams pic for reference. NOT MINE ***

Thanks,

Joel

What's on the back of the photo? Can you provide a scan?

[jbhofmann]

No writing or stamps that I can see. I don't have a back scan at the moment.

Thanks for the response.

It's hard to say without holding the photo in my hands, but based on the slight lack of detail in the image, it is probably a second generation photo. But, even if it is determined not to be a first generation photo, it may still be "vintage" (old), depending on the paper. If it is truly blank backed, I would not spend the money to have the photo graded, but perhaps get other people's opinions here.

Got dots?

[jbhofmann]

Ladder, I don't have any magnification to look that closely. Upon looking at the back there is a small KC in the upper left hand corner. COuld have easily been put there recently though.

I used a 5x loupe to examine it and didn't find the dots that I did in a magazine as you asked earlier.

Thanks for the help guys.
