i hope this thread is not out of line with the forum.i have the chance to buy a 1930's original wire photo of christy mathewson with the original news description on the back.the photo is from the early part of his career.i love the item but have no experience with buying photos.without seeing the photo(its in VG condition),do those of you with experience feel $100 is too steep a price?i know its tough for you to judge sight unseen and i guess what it comes down to is that i like the item. |

A 1930's wire photo of Christy Mathewson, from the early part of his career, is NOT an original wire photo. It is either printed from a copy negative or was printed after the fact from the original negative. |

You can have an original wire photo from the 1930s that pictures Christy Mathewson from the early part of his career. The wire photo is original, but an earlier image was used. I have a similar piece on ebay right now that ends today (Sunday). It is a wire photo from 1938, but it pictures Mathewson from the 1st decade of the 20th century. |

This kind of question is considered off topic and is perfectly ok to ask about as a board participant. regards |

News services sometimes made photos with earlier images (ala 1950 photo showing Ruth in 1919). Though they are not original and as valuable, they were official and made in limited numbers. |
