Ebay Postcard Warning

These are not made by Burke and Brace...they were made in the 1970s by Jim Rowe who bought all of Burke and Brace's negatives...I emailed the seller who told me he bought them from a Mastro auction and he says he is inclined to believe Mastro over me. |

Interestingly enough, I have a few with what looks like the same handwriting on the back. I've had these for at least 15-20 years, but can't remember where I got them. |

Brace himself died recently, so reprints could be by him. Obviously, the postcard can't be from the 1930s due the Kodak stampbox. It appears to be a Burke image and, due to clarity and detail, possibly from the original negative. |

The seller bought a huge lot from Mastro and says he uses Mastro's description in his auction. Does anyone know which auction and lot he would have won these? I'd like to take a look. I asked the seller, but he did not respond to my request. |

"Brace typically wrote the subject's name in blue ballpoint pen on the 8x10 photos he made, including reprints." |

My off the cuff guess is that the guy won a "Burke & Brace collection," which included a variety of years and types-- original 1930s Burkes to Brace reprints. If so, the collection may at some point have been purchased from Brace or his family. |

I am not the ebay seller referenced in the OP, but it is kinda weird as my situation mirrors the seller in questions quite closely. I did buy a huge lot from Mastro this past spring of George Burke photos and they were correctly described. I haven't noticed another large lot going off recently. Here is a link to my listings with all photos having the Burke Studio stamping on the reverse: http://tinyurl.com/4zvq7r |

That is what Burke photos should look like...I am not aware of Burke producing Kodak postcards, but it fits with what Jim Rowe was doing in the 1970s...heck even some of Jim Rowe's stuff is cataloged in the SCD..it is all attributable to the 1970s. Can anyone find reference to these Kodak postcards in any hobby material from the 1950-60s. Any oldtimers that remember them being around before the 70's? |

Dan, I think we all agree that these eBay Kodak postcards are from later. The Kodak stampbox didn't exist in the 1930s-40s. |

I know that we can agree to that David, it's just that I think the seller is under the impression that he has period postcards of 1930s players. I don't want forum members to think they are bidding on prewar postcards when these are clearly not which is why I posted the warning. |
