1920's Ray O Print
Posted By: David
There have always been theories that many of these could be or even were reprinted, as multiples could be made using the old negative and new photographic paper.... For those unfamiliar, the Ray O Prints were sold to kids as kits, where the kid could make his own little photo of Ruth, Gehrig, Lindeberg, Dempsy, etc.... As a lot of them are in strong grade, it makes one think. However, I haven't seen facts that they were reprinted and assume most on the market are legitimate. I owned one set a long time ago, so don't have any hands on experience with the cards. |

One side note, I haven't before seen a Ray of Print with a yellow background like yours-- or at least as appears in your scan. It's usually a white with a light brown tinge. |

If you question the piece, your instincts are probably correct. Somebody on ebay has been turning these out in quantity. I have returned several to consignors over the past few months (all originally purchased on ebay), as they were printed recently using an old negative. |

Thanks David- it fluoresces brightly, under blacklight, especially when held up to a "non-suspect" M116. Thanks Scott- for the reassurance that if it doesn't "look" right it probably isn't (and I am actually getting to be able to tell these things )....and finally, thanks Brian for the miniature black light a few years ago....I have emailed the seller, from ebay, and we'll see....regards all... |

POP and I have never bought these as old! I have several and they just look too new for me to buy the story. I have 2 in my type set but am still not sold. You can get these for $50 each if you are patient. Just my opinion and god knows I have been wrong before. take care depressed dan. |

It will be all right. Other cards will come along and take the place of this one..time heals son..(aren't I a few days older than you?)...like a junior high girl girlfriend that leaves you and is soon forgotten........well, sort of....anyway, we'll see what the seller says...and I, of course, agree with you and Pop .... regards |

Assuming it is a modern reprint, it still has some semblence of value-- distinguishing it from a 1933 Goudy Ruth reprint made on a snotnosed (it's cold season) kid's computer printer. Modern reprints made from the original negative has status in the photograph hobby, though not nearing the original photographs. |
