1929 Philadelphia Athletics orginal photo - WIW?

I do not think it is a repo as such but it is not a type 1 as all of the photo guys talk about. Since it has the photographers sticker on the back of the frame it must have been sold latter.

A major baseball dealer in the Philly area, Delco Cards worked out a deal with the family and used the original negative to make copies in early 2000 and he sold them for about $50.00 to $125 depending on frame etc.

Guessing this one was done prior to 1963

That is strange, i talked to one of the Bodziaks and it seemed like he had the negative and it had not been used and the process to developed is not used any more or easy. It used the contact method that is why the negative is the same size as the picture. and any that are not he said could not be from the negative.

Type 1 i am guessing is original prints printed in 1929? What makes you say before 1963? I will google Delco cards as i am not more then an hour from Philly. How do you know they made a deal for the negative or is it just common knowledge in this community?

thanks

99Snipers are you the seller of the photo in your first link? Or associated with the seller in any way?

Dan, i asked the same question but deleted it because now it seems so obvious I wanted to see how far he would go.

Like, "I asked him if he would take $300 for it so if anyone wants to tell me, I'll tell him and make the sale for you."

Tony from Delco cards died about 3 years ago. He sold alot of the reprints as such at the Fort Washington Shows. Never hid the fact as he was one of the best dealers around

1963 was when zip codes came out. The label does not have one
