<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mac3200, post: 106658, member: 1511&quot;]nope have no examples to share due to i dont collect cartoon drawings of baseball related subjects, i collect 19th century baseball cards and original photos, however i have seem these turn up several times a year in past live auctions such as&nbsp; liveauctioneers and other auction sites.&nbsp; they&nbsp; dont sell for much last one i saw sold for $100 plus the 20% buyers fee just last year. if i remember right&nbsp; that one had a new york photographer stamp along bottom edge that dates it 1892 and didnt have uneven cut edges and was centered on the mount unlike these examples.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; also the paper foxing match the foxing on the mount and didnt have any of the edges up lifting off the mount.&nbsp;&nbsp; without seeing this in person it could of been a period photo copy removed from a victorian scrapbook and mount onto this plain mount which would be why there is no photographer stamp.&nbsp; Christo Von Buffalo was credited&nbsp; as being a cartoonist and was not a photographer. </p><p><br /></p><p>its only rare if others want to believe its rare due to this type of item is a speciality item in which you have to find the right person who collects Buffalo team baseball stuff and the one who would pay the most would be a advance collector.&nbsp; i only know of 2 advance collectors that would pay top dollar and both are at the age and are down sizing their collection.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>this item wasnt created in 1877 time period this photo was created after the fact, this is not an original piece of artwork / drawing, its a photo taken of the drawing and mounted onto a 1892 mount.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>dont take it wrong by what i am saying,&nbsp; it is interesting and a neat baseball drawing but its not the original 1877 drawing artwork nor created when the games listed in drawing where played,&nbsp; it considered what is known as a period copy taken by a photographer and created a photo copy then mounted it onto a 1892 mount.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
