A few Burke Photo Questions and Burke Show'em thread.

Unfortunately no stamps, but nice pics.

Many players purchased photos from Burke to fulfill their autograph requests-- this includes Ruth, Foxx, DiMaggio, Greenberg. This is why many Ruth and Foxx signatures are on original Burke photos. Leon has a 1936 bill from Burke to Mickey Cochrane for Cochrane's purchase of 30 photos.

And let's not forget Gehrig as I have seen more photos signed than unsigned.

Well, the Nagurski is the rarest of the lot in this thread, and I've never seen one before. Burke supposedly was the team photographer for the Bears, but you rarely see football photos by him-- and the biggest football star of the day Nagurski.
