The Connie Mack/Bender is from the 1940s-50s, as the snapshots with deckled edges like that are from that time period. Notice the other 1940s-50s snapshots in this thread with the deckle edges. The photo is definitely 50+ years also, but not circa 1910.
I've seen a few deckle edge snapshots of big stars like Cobb and Joe Jackson, so there may have been a professional photographer like Jim Rowe or George Brace selling them commercially. I know for a fact that Rowe commercially sold straight-edge snapshot size photos of Pre-War baseball stars circa 1950s. As they were sold commercially, I assume meant to be collected and are trading card size, one could classify the just mentioned Rowe photos as baseball cards. I'm not an appraiser, but I've only seen a handful at most of the deckle edge snapshots of Pre-War players. Perhaps not valuable, but they are uncommon. In fact, I've only seen (and owned) one collection of about 100 of the straight edge Rowe snapshot photos containing Pre-War stars (Ruth, Gehrig, Young, Cobb et al). The photos didn't have Rowe's name anywhere on them, but came in the original mailing box with the original typed receipt/note to customer from Rowe-- which is why I can vouch for who made them and that they were commercial items.

A couple of dead ball era snapshots...
The Cobb photo is still glued to a scrapbook page (with two photos of the family that owned it playing football in dress clothes on the back). His uniform dates this to 1916-17.
The Wagner snapshot is circa 1910's and comes from his estate (check out the size of Wagner's hands!). COBB.jpgwagnersnapshot1910s.jpg

Hey Tom. Those snapshots of Tinker's kids are awesome!
My only signed snapshots. A couple of pretty fair righties. Nolan Ryan in front of Shea 1968. And Ole Diz as a Cubby in 1939.

I love that Ryan. I've picked up a few early signed items. Nobody seems to care about vintage Ryan yet, but figure that will change one day. He was the greatest pitcher of his era.

I've actually picked up a couple of pre-rookie Ryan 3X5s. I doubt anyone would buy them at a premium right now, but that's fine by me. People will appreciate them in the future. Vintage Billy Williams will never carry any weight, but it seems impossible that the opposite won't someday be said of Ryan-signed material. Vintage Brett does well already; why not Nolan?

Hey Jimmy, Great candid shot of Ryan in his rookie season. That's definitely an early Ryan signature as well, probably from 1968 or 1969 based on others that I have from that time period. Sweet!

I collect baseball snapshots, but not necessarily of anyone in particular... I like home-town shots and the like. Not sure what is going on in this photo, but it cracks me up every time I look at it. I like the "Weber's Bread" ad in the back ground!

Shawn, that should be hanging in Cooperstown (assuming no steroids are involved).

Ha! That would be great
 I would love to know the "Who, What, Where, and Why" on that photo... It kinda looks like the photo was taken outside a baseball field, but who knows???
