Lefty Grove Burke signed photo?
Good afternoon Gents,
I just received this in the mail today (purchased from the bay). It is supposed to be an 8x10 George Burke photo (owner told me the Burke stamp is on verso) from the early 30s, signed in black fountain pen. Its been matted and framed in UV glass. The previous owner had made a minor fix as their were a few small holes in the neck region and in the black background, so he utilized some older sepia photos (attached to the back) to make the holes practically un-noticeable. I kinda want to take the photo out to see the Burke stamping on the verso and the fix that the owner made mention of, but likewise don't want to damage the fine framing. Any suggestions? I have seen Burke/Red Sox signed photos of Grove, but this is the first Burke/Athletics one I have seen...whether its Burke or not, I love the photo and signature.
