The Louisville Slugger- Pete Browning

[robertsmithnocure]

By provenance, I mean where did the card come from? Oftentimes, these originate from the families of the players. Cabinet cards like yours were probably not available to the public and were made for personal use.

What makes you think that is Pete Browning?

Please read the Buck Ewing thread that was created recently. It’s not that long. The facial recognition on the Boston Browning is pretty obvious. I’ll post it if you want or need it. I’m guessing you haven’t done the facial recognition and probably don’t care to. I got 2 other Pete Browning’s. I’ll post them and the facial recognition for the three tomorrow. I haven’t pressed the seller for info on the “history of ownership.” I never needed to know the “history of ownership” on any of my cards yet. Do people buy cards that come with log books nowadays or something? A pile of receipts? What am I missing? Is “history of ownership” word of mouth in the baseball card word. Are auction houses “ownership historians”? Do authenticators use “history of ownership” when looking at an image on a pass or fail basis? How much of a factor in authentication of an image is “history of ownership”? I’d there any authentication companies that look at baseball players faces on a pass or fail basis? Is history of ownership s factor in there analysis?

Browning is one of the scarcest and most desirable 19th century images to find and you have three different? Yes, I would think that you would want to press the seller for the “history of ownership.”

Agreed, definitely not Browning.

I never get that lucky. I'd settle for one in a lifetime.
