    Any ink-stamps or writing on the back?

    Great photo! I would say it was prolly from 1952 since it says that-- (not being a smart a$$) Where did you pick it up from?

    looks like a wire photo
    Cool Item- would look great framed with a card of each underneath.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    Buccaneer, anything on the back? I agree, it does look like a wire photo but those always seemed to have some typed info attached to the back or attached to the front and hanging off that was meant to be a suggested caption. Is there paper damamge on the back or anything written?

    Very nice photo, by the way. image

    I think stone has a collection of similar photos.

    If he ever came around here anymore, you could ask...

    Because the photo has so many staged elements,
    it is more likely a publicity shot taken by the team
    photog.

    The back of the photo should have a stamp, either from the photographer, the Dodgers, or a Newspaper or Wire Service. I could also possibly have hand writing on the back. That would pretty much place it as an original vintage photo.

    Since it's full 8x10 the caption at the bottom I'd guess probably Dodgers PR photo most likely taken by a team photographer and distributed to media.

    Nice one to have though!

    Thanks for the comments. There is nothing on the back as far as I can tell, and there's no paper loss either. It is not on cardboard stock but feel like glossy photo paper. I got it from my dad who was a fan back then but couldn't remember where he got it from.

    TCMA has a card using that photo as the header/team history card in its 1974 collector's edition set of 1952 Dodgers.
