vintage photos
If you have a minute, go to eBay and type in "Charles Conlon photos" under vintage sports collectables. You will find scores of vintage prints going for between 100 and 350 dollars on average. Some dealers are asking much more. There are some nice dead ball and 1920s shots. Nice ones.
Many of the pieces have been on there for months or years.
My point being, not that there is really no logical price guide for these shots, but that the market for original photos is one hundred yards wide and two inches deep.
If you look at the auction houses that are sending out telephone-book sized catalogues (when we all had land lines), they are mostly offering big name players like Ruth, Cobb, Matty, Gehrig, the Big Train and the Black Sox. That's where the money seems to be.
