1912 Red Sox paper team photo

[laughlinfan]

Hey gang - Really appreciate the wealth of knowledge here on this board!

I have this framed paper team picture of the 1912 Boston Red Sox. I picked it up about 15 years ago from a friend, who also had a 1912 New York Giants team photo (it was different than the Red Sox one, as it showed a few highlighted players in small inset pictures and maybe an action shot in addition to the team group photo) and a vintage photo of a non major leage team from about the same time frame that he had picked up as a group. My friend kept the Giants photo and sold the "real" photo, but I was able to get this from him as it has the pride of Falconer, NY - Hugh Bedient - in the back row, whose items I collect when I run across them.

Can anyone provide any information on how this was issued? Since it was with a similiarly framed NY Giants picture, I thought maybe someone had picked these up at the World Series in 1912, or maybe they were issued in that time frame to commemorate the series.

I've never taken it out of the frame - I really like the look of it as it is. Do I need to worry about it being flush against the glass? Seems to be holding up failry well.

Thanks for any info!
