1920 Cleveland Indians Championship Photo

[ruth-gehrig]

I've been offered this but don't have much experience in photos. What should I look for in deciding whether original or reproduction. The only example I can find was Lelands in 2002 that measured 19" by 56". Has anyone else seen any other examples sell before? Were all the originals this one size only??? What else should I look for in this photo?? Thanks again, Michael

Michael:

You would really need to see the photo in person to determine if it is an original, the photo quality should make it a fairly easy determination but extremely difficult via online scans. Your best bet would be to ask the seller for a return privilege so that you can have the opportunity to view it in person. Most of these types of pieces can be found in different sizes.

Yeah after seeing the photo in person...red flag that I can tell the photo under the glass is shiny and glossy. Even bigger red flag that the back of the frame is glued shut so someone can't inspect the picture up close.
