I go Conlon first, then George Burke. Both were truly talented photographers who happened to train their lenses on baseball players. I also appreciate the volume of quality material that each produced, especially Burke, making their work now more approachable from a collector's standpoint. The primo shots and key players still command high prices, but any collector can pick up an 80+ year old photo of an average player and enjoy the same quality photography they employed for Hall of Fame subjects.
