If it was autographed by every member of the team and authentic it would be worth well above the $2300 he has is overpriced at currently.

A) what you say is a high price doesn't prove that it's fake
B) if it were autographed by Charleston, Gibson, etc. I think it would sell for a bit more than $2300 I would like to know why it's not a Type 1, Type 2, Tyoe 3 whatever and simply deemed fake....

I e-mailed the seller and told him it was a fake. Looks like he took it down, I don't think it was sold.
As much as you can make a definitive statement based solely on a scan, the spider veins in the background of the upper part of the photo are a giveaway. There are many fake Pittsburgh/Homestead photos from that era which show up on e-bay occasionally. Every one that I have seen has those spider veins throughout the upper part of the photo. Color of the photo matches all known fakes, I have no doubt. I was fooled once early on in my Negro League collecting days with a similar photo purchased on e-bay, never again......

Somebody did a bunch of these the same way, maybe using a chemical to try to give them an aged and distressed look, and I'm sure they will be resurfacing from time to time for years. For anyone who has seen a lot of old photos, they are at first glance recognized to be artificially aged. Real old photos have a certain look, and it's not this. The yellowing is a giveaway, and the resolution is also terrible.
