Any ideas regarding the origin of this photo? It is 8" x 10", and is credited to Kuenzel of the Detroit News.

John: The Dutch Clark photo you pictured was offered as a free supplement in the Detroit News, I believe on a Sunday. The piece sells for up to $30, but I believe it to be undervalued. The same photo image was used in other trading cards and similar genres as well for Clark.

I think the estimate may be a bit low but that is just my opinion. I had a group of 5 of them at one time which came from Ace Gatowski's estate. The Dups sold from 50 to 100 based on condition and timing.

I also remember a postcard from the newspaper announcing the issue along with the date of the insert being included. I did not bid on that lot but printed it out and will try to find it.

Take care,

Mike

My guess was that the insert was issued somewhere between 1936 to 1938. I have the other as well; it seems to be easier to acquire.

I bid on that top picture as well - but was it really a photo or was it a half-tone? It looks like the same picture that is on the 1938 Diamond Matchcover - I have it on my website at http://pages.prodigy.net/revmoran/images/fbmb3.htm

I think it's one of the better looking matchcovers, along with the Glenn Presnell. Handsome group of fellows!

Another Clark supplement (the running pose) w/postcard ended last evening. According to the selller the postcard was postmarked Aug 1938. This is useful in clarifying the date of issue.
