Hal Chase Photo...
Not sure if this was a "good" buy or not, but dropped $18 on the photo below...great image but it's tagged on the back as "reproduced by Geo. Burke"...assume this would be considered a Type II...hope one day to add a Type I image of Hal to my collection...thoughts?
  This would be the kind of image I'd want GK to paint for me if I ever had the money...

FWIW, it would be either a Type 2 or a Type 4, depending on whether it was printed from the original negative (Type 2) or a duplicate negative (Type 4). Based on the slight loss of clarity, I would lean toward it being a Type 4 which Burke re-shot from an existing print as opposed to him obtaining the original negative to produce the print. Either way, the photo looks to have been shot in 1909, so by the time Burke was producing photos of ballplayers, at least 20 years had passed.
None of that is meant to take away from a nice pick-up which, I agree, was well worth the $18. Congratulations!

Thanks Doug & Lance...considering the otherwise crappy day I'm having, your feedback is GREATLY appreciated. FWIW, I scanned the photo in the top loader it was sent to me...the condition of the top loader is not the best and the photo is a bit nicer than it is showing in the scan. Chase fascinates me and I was pretty surprised I got the photo for that little...I was willing to go to $75...at what point would this have gone from "nice pickup" to "you could have bought a few of these for what you paid?" Thanks again...the learning continues...Matt

Matt,
I agree with both Lance and Doug. No matter what the Type, it's a marvelous image of the Prince Hal. Well done. Graig
