Default Wire Photo Collectors

Posted By: Mike

One more time.....wire photo technology was invented about 1935. Before that it was single shot (news photos) There is no such thing as a wire photo before about 1935. Even the Mile High Feb 13th 2008 Auction Catal. calls any old photo a wire photo. For the life of me, I can't figure out why it is so difficult for people to figure out. It is misleading and wrong. For the most part, wire photos could be made in unlimited quantities very easily. Before 1935 photos were made one at a time, some times they would make copies, but for the most part, photos taken before 1935 are so very very much rarer than 1935 and beyond. Please get that straight ...Some have told me "Awwww it doesn't matter". "I call them all wire photos". That's like saying "Awww there is no difference between a 1956 Topps and a T206, they're all just baseball cards."
