General Photograph question
Posted By: Dave
Looking at all the different avenues of collecting...curious from board members what makes a vintage photo just a vintage photo and what makes a cabinet photo a cabinet photo? A cabinet photo I'm assuming is worth more for various reasons? Is it better if the old photo has some type of writing on the back? either the player, team, year, etc? Any help always appreicated! |

Thanks guys. Only thing left that can be considered "fishy" by a novice buyer....considering these items are in very nice condition and original.... |

These are both items that are available for you to purchase? I think we'd have to see the items before anyone here could give you an idea if they are fishy or not. Is there a studio name on the Miller Huggins cabinet? And an 1887 photo of the Cincy team should be on a hard cardboard type backing...is it? |

My opinion is that if someone is new is to collect early 1900s news service photos. These will include the famous players like Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson and Honus Wagner, and are easier to judge as vintage. Many of these photos will have a back stamp from the news service or photographer that identifies it as old. For example International News Photos, United Press (not United Press International which is modern), ACME Newspictures, Pacific & Atlantic, Bain News Service are old, defunct companies and their stamp would only appear on an old photo. If you see a Ty Cobb photo with a Pacific & Atlantic or Bain News Service stamp, you can confident it's vintage. Many of these news service photos are of top quality. |
