help with this team picture

To help you with your research, I believe that you should concentrate on finding out who that oldest "baseball man" is in the photograph!

That would be the teams assistant manager (3rd from top right).

If this photo was taken c. 1910-1915, you can pinpoint what year he played and try to match up facial and stature anomalies. I will try to help by doing some research also.

What does the back of the photo look like?

What city or area was this photo discovered in?

Looks like a family outing or family reunion. a lot of the guys have some of the same facial features.

The bat the kid is holding doesn't look like a whole bat at the far end. Maybe they made the bat.

Early 1900s, maybe earlier 1910. Value depends on size, with the bigger the more valuable. Normal cabinet size I'd say $50. Perhaps it'd sell for $80 on a good day. Just a guess. I'm not an appraiser or dealer so take my pricing with a grain of salt. Though cabinet style cards sell for more than real photo postcards. Family reunion or town picnic game sounds reasonable. There certainly appear to be some relations in the photo. You'll see old photos with teams in street, work, school or farm clothes.

Here is a picture of the team photo along with the other items that came in the lot.. what size do you think it is?

The New York Gallery photo is a cabinet card, so it's a little bigger than a standard cabinet card. It's about average size.

well, i got the entire lot for $7.51 including shipping.. not the score of the century, but it is my first picture of this type and i plan on keeping it.

In the group of photos there are three photos in the bottom center of the same man. He seems to be the gentleman in the back row center of the baseball "team" photo. Is there any information on the backs of one of these photos that may narrow the scope?

I swear that's Darrell Issa!!!
