The feel of the stock alone isn't going to tell the story. I own a picture from 1941 with a matte, almost card stock like textured finish paper that I know for certain it is genuine and from the era because I got it from the original archiver and it has the original stamps on it. I've also owned various movie stills on a similar textured paper that I could definitely date to the 1920s because they were autographed (and in some cases dated) by the silent film stars depicted and I got them from the estate of the recipient, who was a make-up artist for the movies in the era. Also, there were many publicity photos made by various entities that weren't necessarily on "standard" glossy photo paper; the ones that come to mind most readily are the H815 Adam Hats pieces, which are on a very heavy creamy (now) stock with a matte finish that feel a lot like cards.

Dave,

Age aside, the Feller shot is DEFINITELY from Yankee Stadium. And most likely, if we're going by the uniform alone, it should be from '37. Apparently, though the uniforms from '36 were very similar, the socks had only two stripes as opposed to the three seen here.

Hey Greg,
Thanks for the info on the Feller shot and where it was taken. Good to know since I own the vintage photo.

[D. Bergin]

Thanks guys.

The rarest thing about that Feller photo is that it's not autographed by him. I, too, have one signed to me by him that I got at a show back in the 80s. Probably the most famous image of Feller, I think.

Did I understand correctly that you're still going to auction these?

Yes, I have them all up as a group lot of older, later generation photos. Is there a problem with this?

[GrayGhost]

No, they r cool photos.

Yeah that Feller pic is a classic. I have seen that many times, and I am a pretty novice collector.
