Not sure of the rationale behind the person who did this, but this is an original Burke photo that has been cut and backed by a black piece of thick paper.
???
Anyway, a signed Burke Stirnweiss (who played from 1943-1952 and died in 1958) is very tough to find. This is an opportunity to get one at a fraction of what a complete photo would cost.
I mean really...do you need to pay that much for the background of the photo? He's the important part!! No? Yes? Maybe???
