Default 1930s George Burke Photo Cards

There have been conversations about Burke photo cards and postcards, over the years. I just picked this one up from J.R. (thanks John)...it's from 1935 as Maranvllle was only on the Braves in 1935. (I took that from his listing)

These are relatively cheap and I think collecting them could be fun. A quick search or two, shows there are a lot of different varieties. I like this one as it has his name etched on the front. Any others out there that folks would care to share?

I have a few post cards that came from the Uncle Jimmy collection. I have them with my other Burke photos. They are the same Burke images with the traditional postcard back. No signature.

Not sure I have them saved anywhere easily accessed to post.

Maranville didn't play in '34, but he was with the Braves for a number of years before that.

I have a bunch of photos with George Burke's stamp on the backs, although I never thought of them as cards. Here's one of Johnny Vander Meer ...

Me neither except for ones like the one I posted. With that"etching" of his name on front it really has a card look to it, to me. But then again, I am a card guy.

Burke’s work is high quality and affordable. He also inherited all of Brace’s negatives. So if a player played before 1931 there’s a chance it was printed from one of Grace’s negatives ( Type II photo for the most part). Burke in turn loaned his negatives to Jim Rowe and his postcard’s are even more affordable.

I think you've inadvertently switched the Georges. George BURKE began photographing major leaguers as they passed through Chicago in the early Thirties. He employed a young George BRACE as an assistant. Brace became Burke's partner some time in the late Forties and took over the business in the early Fifties. It was BRACE, not BURKE, who loaned his negatives to Jim Rowe (BURKE was deceased by then), and I believe there was something of a scandal as Mr. Brace didn't get his negatives back.

Leon,

Is your Maranville significantly smaller than the wide pen and fine pen premiums from the era? If so, I have a Ruth from the same set (in a Yankee uniform, but he is aging -- maybe 1934). It has the same white signature as yours, and even has a backstamp with the same font, though the number is 520Y. I've also seen a Gehrig. I thought Ruth and Gehrig were the only two from the set. I've never heard of any connection to Burke. What leads you to believe your Maranville was produced by Burke?

Paul

Yes, it is smaller.
That is how it was described in the listing from one of the most experienced collectors I know. That said, everyone can make mistakes. I was hoping someone would chime in about having others like this. It's on photo type stock.

I have a similar type number on the back of a type 2 photo from Burke (Brace) recreation. I can look for one at some point and post it. Mine does not have the signature.

Here Is one Of Leo "Red" Miller. Leo Pitched a single inning for the Phillies in his entire major league career, for the 1923 Phillies. I believe he may have been called back by the Phillies as some sort of coach in the late 20s (As he is shown here) A very early Burke shot.

Love the Kowalik. He owned a beer distributorship and died very young as a result of over-sampling his own merchandise.
