Default 1901 boston college team photo

Posted By: davidcycleback

I would normally guess about a couple hundred if in nice condition. It would only be more, perhaps double, with black players. It's large, so that makes it scarce and valuable. Something that large was intended to be displayed somewhere. Due to its size and age, it may indeed be unique. Old large display photos of any team are often unique, as only a few were originally made and most were lost or destroyed over time. Typically, a college team photo this size was made to be displayed in the school or such, or given to a player or coach. They weren't something available to the general public. I'd say there's a good chance this photo was either displayed at Boston College or belonged to a team member.
