Joe D.I picked up this photo on eBay... listed as a "Rare" Real Photo Postcard.... and "very rare" in the listing itself.
I have no intention to return it (mainly because the return time in the listing has lapsed), but will just consider this a lesson learned if this item is not vintage at all.
Anyway... does anyone have an idea about this one? It is a photo (continuous tone), it is about 3x4, with a somewhat satin feel to it. After winning the auction, I looked around and noticed this exact image elsewhere as an 1890s photo of the Brooklyn team - which lead to my wondering if the photo I won was just a common reproduction of a famous photo.... so I am wondering -
Is this vintage? just a modern reproduction? something else?
Thanks in advance.
