Hi-
I have another whatsit that I know is catalogued but I cannot find any information about it. It is a premium photograph depicting Heine Manush. I am guessing it is from the mid 1930s, but that is all I know concerning this issue. Please see scan below. My questions are:
1. Manufacturer
2. Year of issue
3. Approximate value
Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all of the responses to my recent strip card question!

What size is the card. Maybe an 1936 R311 - Glossy National Chicle Premium? Here's info from Old Cardboard's site. If not this card, check out the other R cards for a match. http://www.oldcardboard.com/r/r311/r311.asp?cardsetID=867

I don't know about your photo, but for many years and many sports, there were team issued photos, many with faux signatures. Some have the team's stamp on back, some have no stamping.

I think this might be from a set of Old-Time players that was actually issued sometime in the 1950s. The set is somewhere in the SCD volume but I can't find it right now. I have a Hornsby that looks like that. It's pretty much a dead ringer for a 1930s premium in appearance.

Alternatively, it could a Dodgers Photo-pack issue from 1937 or 1938, the only years Manush played for them.

Either way, I'm sorry to say it has little value in that condition.
