Looking for input from Photo Collectors

First off, I'm a rookie in this department, but I have a small collection of photos.

I like "date specific" photos such as a photo of a World Series game or an All-Star Game. I also like photos that show other events, not just poses or action shots. For instance, I have a photo of Bob Feller with the Marble Champion from Akron, Ohio playing marbles in the on-deck circle before a game. Interesting photo since Mr. Feller is only 19 in the photo and marble champion looks to be maybe 17. It looks like just two average boys playing marbles, but one is a professional baseball player of course.

As far as the photographer and captions, I don't focus much on that except I do like when the photo has the newspaper slug on the back. I also leave any markings on the front of the photo alone. I know some collectors remove them, but I actually like them there. Condition isn't really a big factor with me either.


Hope this helps
