Matty McIntyre Photo--Need ID help

Posted By: Dan Bretta

I just wish I had seen the album on Leland's before I saw the pictures on ebay. The entire album sold for less than $4,000. I think he made over $25,000 by chopping it up. He made his money back with the 1905 team photo. IMO it sucks that he did that with the album, but he's a dealer and not a collector so he's not really going to respect the history of an item if he can make money on it by disassembling it. I don't feel guilty about buying some of the photo's though, because it was already broken up anyway. I figured here was my chance to obtain some one of a kind 100 year old photos of Major league players taken by a major leaguer. I may be the only person to own a photo of Jimmy Archer in a Tiger's uniform (aside from the 1907 team photo).
