Glass Slides Identification Assistance

[Gldwebs]

So...I was originally listing the 1903 World Series slide on eBay but the more I keep researching it and seeing people comment on here about who is in there I think I need to take it somewhere better.

At first I thought it was just boston, but now I know its both. Honus Wagner and Cy Young are both pictured as well as several other HOF players. The photo was obviously taken just before the other group picture right at the end of the first world series ever - and from all my internet searches this image is no where to be seen.

I was offered to sell it at Heritage Auctions along with the 13 other slides I have. Does anyone have experience selling at Heritage? Can they handle this correctly or is there somewhere else I should take it?

I've never consigned to any auction house, but I have bought quite a bit from Heritage, including coins, comics, baseball cards, movie posters and space (NASA/Apollo) memorabilia).

If you decide to consign any of your slides, Heritage would be an excellent choice for the auction house. They auction just about everything, including vintage photography, art and sports memorabilia. They have one of, if not the largest client list around, and I would think they have the expertise to handle your slides.

Also, in addition to Honus Wagner, Fred Clarke and Cy Young, Jimmy Collins should also be in the 1903 World Series photo.

Edited to add:

After taking another look, I believe Jimmy Collins is standing 4th from the left in your photo. Fred Clarke, as mentioned in a previous post, is at the far left.
