Five items, including one just in humor, run by an agent in e-mail and here was his last response:
"Thank you for all your messages but I’m afraid we wouldn’t be the right fit. We wish you luck should you decide to sell elsewhere." At no point during the exchange of e-mails did he ever give a first name. I called Heritage about an hour later and spoke with the woman I spoke to yesterday. She was helpful yesterday and today and asked for the e-mail address from which I received the correspondence which struck her as being a general e-mail address for Heritage. Nothing like anonymity and no estimate on worth. Of course, that last correspondence was a hint.

It does look a bit like Fritz Pollard.

A photo of Fritz Pollard, along with a close-up of the same photo for comparison.

Maybe this will help a little...
1928footballplayer.jpg The elongated face and a distinctly different nose shape point to it being a 'most likely not,' but it's tough with the distortion of that grainy photo to know what reality is.

Gentlemen,
Thank you. Looks like I have a 37 inch long original photo of Fritz Pollard with his and another team posing together. Here are poor examples as a result of my phone of parts of the photo. I am not bragging, but I am kind of happy now that a rep from Heritage Auctions who didn't ID himself with a first name stated he was "afraid we wouldn’t be the right fit." Picture is not hot and was purchased legally. Last edited by Brian Van Horn; 05-22-2024 at 06:08 AM. |

One other note. I also sent the guy in the same e-mail a photo of the 1924 (marked 1924) in the bottom right side of the photo of the Falls Lumber Co professional football team. Feel free to do the research.

Deleted because Jolly Elm already made the same point
