Guys
A buddy of mine has an original photo (4x6) of Gerhig, Cronin, Dickey, Dimaggio, Gerringer, Foxx and Greenberg.
It is not a wire Photo. Evidently it was taken at the 1937 allstar game and then used in a local (NY) paper.
Does anyone have any idea as to its value? I told him I had no idea but would think it was worth a couple/few hundred to
the right person. Do many people collect this sort of thing? The condition was EX Fine IMO no cracks or bends.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I did check ebay.

Edited to add:
PSA/DNA Photograph Type Classification
Type I - A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within approximately two years of when the picture was taken).
Type II - A photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (more than approximately two years after the picture was taken).
Type III - A 2nd generation photograph, developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during the period (within approximately two years of when the picture was taken).
Type IV - A 2nd generation photograph (or 3rd or later generation), developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during a later period (more than approximately two years after the picture was taken).
Also, is the picture any good? Aesthetically, and/or technically? Good tonal range, or blown out?
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
It would be kind of strange if is the same photo and your friend's is the original. This one ends tomorrow.
If his is the original and he gets it authenticated I would have to think it's worth at least a couple hundred. Where the heck do you get original photos of lou gehrig and a handful of HOFers?
