I was actually interested in bidding on this photo in Legendary until I saw yours. I think you have the Type I. Legendary's looks a bit more pristine and based on the more modern stampings, it's screaming Type II. Their description is a bit ambiguous. And as discussed, the fact that they haven't PSAed it, lends credence to the Type II.

I believe you are correct sir. I would think Legendary is smart enought to slab something like this if it was a type 1 and also "smart" enough not to when it is something else Personally.. I would pass on the Legendary photo unless they guarantee a type 1. Unless you do not care about a type 1 distinction..in that case, just DON'T pay type 1 money..

Yes, I will be running for zee hills away from this lot. And yes, the Type I distinction means a lot.

Congrats on getting the real deal Holyfield. It would be nice if it turned out to be a 1918 shot to boot.

I picked up two pictures of a local high school football team from 1915 and 1916. They are from Galax, VA if anyone is interested in where they come from. The 1916 photo has the players names written in the back. Although I am unsure of what order they are in. I plan on having these framed up and displaying them in my room.

Very nice pickups everyone! I have dangerously extended my collection into 20th century supplements with this one...the condition is amazing and now by far my favorite item! All it needs now is a nice frame to go with it.

1909 Tigers and Pirates World Series Game One Supplement to the Index - Pittsburgh's Illustrated Weekly

Nice pick-up, George. I went after that one moderately before settling on the 1909 Pirates Carl Horner composite supplement in Heritage.

Thanks Phil! You are far from 'settling' with that Horner composite...it's beautiful and from what I recall, it was in overall VG condition. Many of the ones that I have seen either have tears or have turned orange from what I assume is sun exposure. Very nice pickup!

The image of Henry Kimbro in a Baltimore Elite Giants uniform was probably taken at Nashville's Sulphur Dell. Two thoughts come to mind: the Elite Giants were in Nashville for spring training (not unusual at all) or the image was taken of Kimbro in his Elite Giants uniform in his home town ballpark...
