JeffI find this whole thread of interest. Probably for sticking my nose where it does not belong, buying photos. I won one of these auctions from this seller recently for a so called old photo, which I didn't get in the mail yet. This is only the second picture I have ever bought. I know little to nothing about them and only bid because the guy in the back row on the right looked to me to be Buck Ewing. Has anyone ever seen this photo or any of the players pictures? Here is a link to that auction.

The thing I really don't like besides all that has been brought up already is that the auction that Daniel first posted about with the 2 team cards where sold by this seller to Dan? (Was featured in the first Old Cardboard issue)

The other photo I bought I am hoping will have less issues surrounding it. It is hopefully an old Matty picture with what I am now hoping is the signature of photographer Sy Siedman on the back. One of his pictures sold in a recent Hunt auction, that featured Cobb.
It has some wrinkles and looks like the shiny part is separate from the picture almost like a plastic covering on it. Is that normal for old pictures? I should have gotten them books from you David when you where giving them away years ago, never thought I would buy any pictures then and may not again now.
Edited for adding the wrong link.
