old baseball team photo from 1919

I bought this years ago at a flea market. It does not quite fit into my collection like it use to and I am considering selling it. Does anyone have an idea of its value? The photo is almost two feet long. The bottom says:

MORGAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY BASEBALL TEAM. CHAMPIONS OF TELEGRAM MANUFACTURER'S LEAGUE. SEASON 1919

Yankees001

Probably around $20, I can send PP today.

Please pm me when you come up with a price, I've been looking for a pano photo from that era and this would fit the space in my office perfectly.
Alternately I've got lots to trade.

Do you know if this is an original from 1919 or a copy? An old copy from the 1950-1960's still has some value. If it's original I would say contact an auction house and get their apparisal.

I don't really know the value of photo's.

If you go to Legendery Auctions you can search "panorama" and get a range of realized prices over the last decade

I had a well known collector of pre-1940 family portraits check it out when I first bought it.

I am not registered with them. From what I understand you need to fill out an application with references and then wait for your application to be approved before you can fully navigate the site.

Very cool piece regardless if it's original or reprint.

You might want to ask over on the Net54 boards. I'm sure someone there would have a good idea of the value range.

i hope the champs were afforded some matching socks for the '20 season.

Yeah it seems like I see a lot of photos like this and 99% of them are copies, but if you had someone with knowledge on the subject look at it then I would trust them. No idea about the value, but I do love photos like this, even the copies.

My Dad has an old pic (copy) on his wall of Babe Ruth bowling duck pins. Duckpin bowling was big in the Maryland area but is fading fast.

I remember watching "Duckpins for Dollars" when staying at my grandparent's house in Baltimore in the early 70's.

Nice photo. Too bad it doesn't have names. I bet there would be a grandchild (regular, great or great great) that would love to have the photo, let a lone baseball collectors.
