Type 1 Photo Hornsby & Sisler
Looking for help from all photo experts...can you confirm this is a TYPE 1 photo of George Sisler and Rogers Hornsby? Also trying to confirm era pic was taken.
Thanks! Hank

Hank,
Referencing the stamp on the back and that Hornsby was only in Boston for one year the date/year would be 1928. |

I owned a similar photo that was a type 1. The markings look the same, if I remember correctly.

The Acme stamping is consistent with what they used from about 1925-1930.

I might also add that simply owning the book won't make you an expert, as I know some collectors who do and still can't tell their Type 1's from a hole in the ground (none gave posted here, so nobody take offense). If you actually read it and exercise some common sense though, you'll be well on your way.

Lance you are selling yourself short. You already are an expert. Especially with Burke and Brace photos. Everyone knows that.

As you say, owning the book is not enough. The fellow who contacted me on ebay made at least two mistakes in arriving at his conclusion, the most glaring being: because my photo had a more modern backstamp, he said that that fact alone defined its age. I don't own Henry's book, but I'm sure he lets his readers know that some photos are not stamped when printed, but sometimes get stamped years later. He also ignored the dated slug, fixated on that backstamp. The book is a reference tool, not a reference for tools.

Ben, what's a fair price for that book?
I don't use it and have never even opened a copy, but since you are bigger than me I figure I'll buy one and start using it, as opposed to calling you a liar and having to face the consequences in a hotel bar in Cleveland.

The book is not being printed anymore so if you can get it for $75 or lower, I would jump on it as the demand will do nothing but go up.

No reason to buy the one listed at $69. Put it as a search with email results and wait for one to pop up. Two have sold this month for $51 and $45.95 including the shipping (compared to $73.35). I recently got mine. I knew I was looking in the $50 range and that is where they seem to be ending in auction format. Of course if you are unwilling to be patient then I would say go with the one linked as it did take me a few months to get mine at the price range I wanted.
