George Burke's are affordable and top notch in quality. They're just more plentiful which lowers the price. Amongst other things he shot the photos for the 1933 Goudeys-- and he photographed all the days' stars Ruth to DiMaggio to Ted Williams. The backs of his are stamped Geo. Burke with his his 807 Belmont Ave Chicago address.

Collectors can also go into cabinet cards, panoramas, tintypes and other great stuff.

I believe the address is 847 Belmont, but yes, I definitely agree that Burke's photos are very affordabe, and cover pretty much every player (even the 1-gamers) to have played in the majors in the 1930's-40's. Many of his images have appeared over and over on cards and elsewhere, from Goudey, Play Ball and National Chicle in the 1930's even up to more modern-day issues from TCMA, Pacific and the like. Fun stuff to find a photo that was used for a pre-war card AND that is actually affordable for a beginning collector!

I agree with all the comments posted so far - they will make a big difference in your ability to accurately judge the authenticity of vintage photos as well as enhance your appreciation of this field of collecting.

I would add one additional thing that has proven invaluable to me in becoming familiar with a critical tool for evaluating the age and time window of publication for vintage photos.

Henry Yee_Auctions on Ebay (about 4 times a year) posts hundreds of photos with accurate descriptions and ,more importantly, clear photos of the front and back. Being exposed to this great diversity of different types of stamps and paper captions on the back of photos will serve you well. For example, subtle differences in stamps of the major news services often will allow you to pinpoint a photo to a specific year, for example a United Press photo from 1953 vs 1955.

Whereas, all of these suggestions that have been posted will provide a scaffolding of information - and information is the most important commodity for collecting- your primary goal should be to enjoy the photos.

Good luck.
