This photo can be enlarged. If you have it scanned at a very high resolution (1200 dpi or more) a good quality enlargement can be made. I also know a company that can turn a scan into a silver halide print of any size. They are pricey, but their work is excellent.

This photo can be enlarged.

I just meant right here in this thread hahaha. It came up pretty small...

Al and I both liked that photo so much we put it on the cover of our last auction catalog even knowing it wasn't a high dollar item.

It cost me over $500 for a picture of 2 (relatively) no-name players. My wife most certainly considers it a high dollar item! Hahahahaha

Ha, relatively speaking.

Great, great photo.

Always on the lookout for these old time notebooks/tablets. Great and affordable way to acquire nice shots and items of some of the game`s stars. Enclosed is actually the 2`nd one of these tablets, some damage but certainly in my ballpark! Love the fact it contains 2 Black Sox, Hap Felsch/Ray Schaulk and some guy named Ty Cobb.

Guys...………..I've been patiently waiting over a month for a local estate auction to take place, as there was some pretty decent stuff previewed. Among other items, I picked up these 2 football items.

The Army pennant was from the Soldier Field official dedication game vs. Navy in front of 110,000 fans.

The Spalding football jersey is from 1905 (single year patch) and I've found a very similar (if not identical) jersey worn in early Vanderbilt football team pictures.

Thanks for looking...…...Matt
