anachronisms (no Leon, it has nothing to do with spiders)

Posted By: Hankron

The most common fakes in early basaeball photographs are not modern counterfeits, reprints or forgeries, but misrepresentation of otherwise genuine photographs. For example, calling a 1910s cabinet card an 1880s cabinet card, or calling a tintype of a fireman a tintype of a baseball player (for those who don't know, circa 1870s firemen and baseball univorms were similar). The recent examples that board members may recall are those 'King Kelly' and 'Frank Baker' photos. While the photos were likely vintage, they weren't of Kelly or Baker.

The advanced collector and dealer of baseball photographs, is half photography historian and half baseball historian.
