Ben,

Thank you for the post and cautionary sentiment. I have "A Portrait of Baseball Photography" but it is silent on this issue. Attached are the front and back of a Zack Wheat cabinet mount photo by Charles Conlon with the same stamp you referenced. It has the Sporting News Collection hologram. I understand that many of the Conlon photos came from the Sporting News Collection. A very similar cabinet mounted Alexander with the Conlon stamp was recently sold on RMY Auctions. These photos seem to have all the indicia of authenticity. Is it your thought that any "Spalding's Guide and Baseball Magazine" Conlon stamp is a fake? How was this type of stamp established as a fake? Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

Jim
