Not Buck Weaver - not even close. All facial features are quite different, and Weaver's ears stick out a lot more.

I saw the same photos in my research. Thanks, Jason

If they're all original, Quillen is pictured in each and the Quillen provenance is documentable/provable, then I'd say $2,000+ for the lot. Just a rough guess. If they're original, each is probably one of a kind (unique) and Quillen was a Major Leaguer and T206 player. For an example, if the one Duluth team photo was mine, I'd offer it for $500+. If original, the biggest one with the 'cards' was once quite a display piece, but has seen better days, perhaps is homemade, and I assume the names on the cards were added later. Duly note, all those photos are types that would be given to a team member, so the provenance is believable. Due to the huge size, the single player photo is quite unusual and rare and it shows a Minneapolis Millers player (I assume Quillen) which is a popular team. A unique collection. And my estimate is based on that that guy not being Buck Weaver.

P.s. the photos all appear genuine/original in your picks, though, as said, the writing on the 'cards' no doubt was added later, perhaps much later.

Thanks for the info, they're all original.

As it's a unique, never before seen collection, and it's hard to predict what specific bidders would bid, pricing is guessing.

Jason,
The HB "Dutch" Leonard signed photo at the bottom is a scarce one and could command a price of $1000 or more IMHO by itself.

This is an item that I would be interested in personally. I cannot see the full year of this Grizzly team, but I'm assuming it is 1912. This was the only year that "Dutch" is reported to have played for the Grizzly's...

Definitely a terrific and unique collection, needless to say!

Scott,
Thanks for the info. I am not sure that they are autographs or just labeled by someone for each team member. A number of letter formations look very much the same.

Still hoping for more opinions and just for the record, I do not own them yet.
