Good detective work in this thread...this board does it better than any other forum out there.

The original write-up showed that Mile High had their doubts if you read the title and description closely as I did. Surprised that a major auction house would move forward in a situation like that. REA, for one, would never even entertain the possibility of listing something that they were not 100% sure of. However, I have seen many others do so, even refusing to take down the item when it has been proven to be falsely described or a fake.

Duly note it was and is still a legitimate 1800s baseball photo of value. It's not as if it was a forged autograph, counterfeit or 1980s reprint. It was a legitimate vintage item that was misidentified.
