If you are worried about its authenticity, or type 1, type 2, contact a local university's photography/art department. Or even a local archive. They should have someone on hand to tell you something about how it was manufactured. Probably do it for free as well.

Good idea! I will check for one

My first thought was that it has that yellowed/faux-distressed look of other faked Negro League photos we've seen, but why would they do that with such an obscure team? Manny's spot of this item on eBay reinforces that initial impression that this is one of those. Another giveaway on that generation of fakes is the resolution, which is universally lousy on all of them and has an appearance never found on real photographs, or even legitimate copies of them.

If i remember right cardboard from the 1950's forward will glow really bright under blacklight. Im going to check this when i can find a good one to use

I'm guessing it will light up like a Christmas tree!
