Seems highly unlikely that some random person was able to get a hold of a pre-1963 stamp from a deceased photographer who wasn't very well known and worked in a very small town from the 1940's-to early 1970's. And I also have a Berra from the same day with the exact same stamp on the back. I would think of that was the case you would see more floating around. This came from a estate of a ex-yankees employee who was long time friends with Ray at the time. Gallo studios was a very small and not well known company that only operated in cranston a short period
