Greetings, I was wondering if any of my fellow vintage Baseball card collectors consider vintage Baseball photos actual cards? I do not consider them cards by definition because they were not marketed as such. I would classify them as Vintage Baseball memorabalia. When I say photos I mean actual photos that were taken with a camera. I would imagine there are some that would predate the actual Baseball card rookie photos. Some comments, opinions would be appreciated. |

I do not collect photos but would consider a real photo postcard to be a collectible item as the grading companies will grade these. |

Original photos by George Grantham Bain's News Service are about as close to cards as you can get in the photo world. Each of his images is copyrighted and can be looked up at the LOC I believe and they are generally about the size of a postcard or slightly smaller. A large portion of them have the players name etched into the negative and many are date stamped on the reverse as well. Here are a few examples. |

take a look at this photo. Does this appear to be a very collectible vintage Baseball photo? I don't think it would grade. The back has some glue or tape residue. |

The stamps show that photo is from 1936. The glue and paper on back don't lower the value. As they were used in the production newspapers and magazines, the back of news photos will often have various paper tags, notes, stamps, etc. The 2 Col on the Feller shows that the newspaper picture made from the photo would be two columns wide. None of these lowers the value. |

David, thank you very much for the information regarding these old photos. I was quite unaware that the value would be unaffected by the glue, etc. I was told the photo is actually from July 28th, 1936 just 9 days after his major league debut on July 19th. That is awesome for a Bob Feller fan. I have one last question regarding the photo. Are these photos very common or scarce to find? I look forward to your reply. Have a wonderful day. |

Many vintage TYPE I photos may be unique and I would definitely not consider them common at all. Manmy collectors believe that these might be the next big boom in the baseball collectibles industry. |

since PSA now grades original photos I wonder if they would be considered rookie cards if they pre-date any regular Baseball card issues? Makes for an interesting discussion. |

There are a lot of news photos floating around, but for each original photo there are rarely more than a couple to a few in existence. Yours might be the only example. This is why grading is beside the point. It really doesn't matter if it grades a 3 or a 4, as it's likely the only one. You judge it by it's overall grade and presentation-- including artistry and clarity of the image. Whether or not a corner is dinged doesn't matter. |

Phil, let me get this straight...you sold your Gibson photo because PSA would not deem it a card and put it in a holder? |

Hope everyone's doing well over here. Every time I check, it seems the card market is growing price-wise exponentially. Amazing. |
