Ed Delahanty Photo - what did I miss?
I was watching this item on eBay back in August, but didn't think much of it until I saw the hammer price. Yes, this photo sold for over $4,400!!
Given that the HOFer Ed Delahanty died in 1903, I find it hard to believe that this is his ghost from 1925. If it is a pre-death image of Big Ed, it is one of the most stunning pre-1905 photo images I have ever seen before. That said...what did I miss?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1925-Basebal...vip=true&rt=nc

The stamp date of 1925 was probably put on there much later than the actual photo was taken. That's typical with press photos, I don't know why it could be some inventory thing I have a photo from World War II that's vintage with the a similar-looking stamp dated 1965. Having said that the photo doesn't look that, the photo doesnt look old, almost looks like it was taken recently

Manny - I'm not too worried about the date stamp. I too have many photos w/ date stamps much later than the actual photo was taken (and printed). I guess I'm trying to figure out why it sold for over $4k.
Anything w/ Big Ed is a "Big Deal", but I just want to get other member's opinions on the hammer price, the subject (is it even Delahanty?), and its importance. Perhaps the notation on back asking that the photo be returned to the Delahanty family is of interest... what made this photo worth over $4k?

It is definitely Delahanty and it is from 1898.

Complete steal in my opinion. Wish I had seen it.

Ok. Now that we have established that it IS Big Ed (which I had already surmised) is that the only reason for the Big price tag? Or is it because Leon and the winner set their snipes too high? Or was this a steal at $4,400?
I am legitimately trying to understand. Image clarity? Historical relevance?
