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.

I agree 100% on the Matty book being handled wrong. We screwed up, plain and simple. The month before, I had my guys remove photos from a family scrapbook that depicted stadium shots from Ebbets Field. As per my instruction, they just cut them out with scissors, which was fine, in that instance. There were about a dozen burried between 200 or so unimportant family photos. I picked the Ebbets photo book up at The Chelsea Flea Market in NYC(Always some finds there) Unortuantley, when I presented the Matty book with the instructions to "remove the photos" to sell individually, I failed to inform them of the importance. Before I caught it, I saw they had removed them in the same fashion as the unimportant family scrapbook from two weeks before....snip, snip. My heart sank! I lost a lot of money and a lot of good photos were cut in half. It was in the name of profit, I make no appologies there. The photos should have been professionaly removed.
