Another Burke Question

[Archive]

Posted By: hankron

On the market there are vintage 1930s Burke photos where he reprinted his own or others' images from decades earlier. These typically have Burke's name and Belmont Ave/ Chicago stamp on back. Though later generation, these photos are old (Goudey era) and scarce. When having a nice and clear image/pose of a big time early Hall of Famer, like Walter Johnson or Willie Keeler, they can fetch a reasonable price. The quality of the image will, or should, effect the financial value.

After his death, Burke's images were reprinted by his business partner and fellow baseball photographer, George Brace. Most of these are easily identified as later generation, as they have Brace's stamp on back.
