Great Old Photos of Baseball Cards

Looks like T205s but tough to really tell.

That picture is incredible. Any way to confirm if they are T205s? Looks like it to me.

What is the background behind that photo?

NOTE: I found the photo and it was shot in 1912. So I'd say it's almost definitely T205s.

I tried to visually identify any of the cards as baseball, and couldn't conclusively. Some of them almost look like non-sports issues that do not picture people.

I love the shoe shine boy photo. A couple of the cards look to me like T205s. The card closest to the boy's heel looks like a National leaguer with a white cap and uniform - maybe Bates or Bransfield.

The card next to that looks like an American Leaguer with a red diamond interior, a light green frame, a white cap, and a white uniform - possibly Russ Ford (white cap), Ed Cicotte, or Bill Carrigan.

One or two of the cards straight down from those two might also be T205s. Many of the others look like they could be non-sports, but it's hard to tell.

Thanks Mike...now I can see that those two appear to be T205.
