Honus Wagner Cabinet Card 1911

[packs]

Personally I realy like the piece and think it presents very well.

I haven't given a real opinion on it. In part, because I haven't thought about it too hard. I think there's a good chance homemade, however famous images were traded and borrowed by professionals in the old days so I won't say for certain.

I don't think putting a vintage Conlon on a period mount ruins the value, in particular if it was done many years ago. For these types of situations, I'd want to know what you paid before I make an assessment.

The only other question is if the print is original/vintage.

Clearly what you should do is send me $100 so I can write a letter that sends inconclusive. For $75 it can be upgraded to a full letter of inconclusivity, which will include picture and hologram. No, wait, just the picture, I'm out of holograms.

I'm still curious to know how the AH came to use "Type 1" when describing the piece. Any liability there?

We see them all the time - they are on plain mounts without a studio name. I have several.
