Henry Chadwick tin type photo

I've never purchased a photo from you nor do I have any images on Getty (or anywhere else) - I think you have your "Mark's" very confused. Just who do you think I am? Should I send you a 600 dpi scan of my face?

Anyway - It's hard to conceive how a 600 dpi cropped out "face only" would degrade the value of your photo.

My mistake...I was told you were Trascendental Graphics...wrong Mark!

Wow - that's really funny. If one is looking for an incorrect photo ID, just pull a TG photo off of Getty - some of those are just ludicrous.

I'm not Mark, but I've bought lots of photos from you John. The Matty McIntyre's were my favorites.

And for the record you can't just drop in this forum with a previously unknown photo of Henry Chadwick and then disappear for a week.

The Matty McIntyres were a travesty of History in the name of profit. I could not believe it when I received mine only to find photos on the back completely sliced in half and destroyed, many of whom were baseball players. I understand breaking things up to make money as I do it all the time, but you probably could have sold those by the page or something and at least not destroyed baseball history in the process. Dont get me wrong, I bought a bunch and still have some, but when I saw the method used to get them out of the book I had to cringe and wonder how much history was destroyed in the process.

I agree there had to be a better way to get those photos out. I'm a bit torn on whether the book should have been left together or not...it was a great piece of history, but one in which I could not afford as a whole so I'm glad I was able to get what I got.
