Great photo no question. Those bib fronts really make it....

....and look at the size of the bat at the bottom right, and the shoes look like they are probably are real clear to see if you were holding the photo.

The size of the photo looks pretty good photorgraphed in front of the large folio album. The whole group of stuff really has a qualtiy look to it all. What a cache! I don't know that nautical area but it wouldn't surprise me the buyer sells something in the group for big money, like the queen of Hawaii photos..Maybe one piece would sell for more than the $2,600.00.

Nothing like having the name of the team on the photo...that's a big step up from generic nice baseball team photo with no name and no chance of ever researching. Great name Monitor. Monitor was a type of war ship, and there was a U.S.S. Monitor that was the first iron clad war ship. Wikipedia says it went down Dec. 31 1862. Could it be possible this was the ships team? But realistically the uniforms appear latter. Make them an offer for the Baseball photo and see what happens.
