I have a copy of his autograph, not an orginal. I know where there is an orginal.
I have a copy of all the 1908 teams autographs, including Wingard, and Pitchard.
But I been studying that team a long time.
Fenton is the best LSU autograph you can get other than Wheat.
And I have Major Wheat's autograph, he is the commander of the 1st special Louisiana Battalion, the "Louisiana Tigers"
He was killed in battle in 1862, a very hard autograph to come by.
Fenton did sign a few things later in life for LSU fans, so they are out there to be found.

Tigger, what would you value this Picture for insurance reasons, $2500?
My homeowners covers any single item up to $2500, past that, I need an individual policy per item, i.e. My wife's wedding ring.

The damage can be fixed, the yellowing on one end and the crack can be patched.
Once fixed it is worth a good deal. there are other photos of the game out there, I have not seen any this big so far.
$2500 is a good figure AT
Remember I paid 750 for the 1911 photo, it is large, but doesn't have the height of the later camara used to take that photograph. The one I have is by the guy out of New Orleans, who took all the baseball photos form 1906 to the mid 10's.
Check into restoring the photgraph, I can get you the place to send it.

Isn't this an item that would lose value if you fixed it?

Actually increase the value of items like this, but probably only increase the value about the amount it would take to fix it

Outstanding- really nice. Congrats.

is it a one of kind ?
where did you get it ?
before you restore it, should you get it reproduced somehow ?
do you know any of the history of the phone, like who took it, how'd they take it, who has owned it, etc
cool stuff man

The photo is marked with the photographer's mark, its either "I Wing Inc", "T Wing Inc", or "J Wing Inc" of Baton Rouge.
I don't know who all has owned it and I don't want to say who I bought it from.

Great stuff, cool as can be.
I wonder why everyone is sitting down. Must have all been corporate seats back then.
I am not a collector of anything, but I love the shape it is in, I wouldnt change a thing.

I am insanely jealous! What a coup. Nice job. I am really impressed by that crowd.
Can you make out any tailgaters?

Just posted an even better picture from the fark board!!! That was pure talent!!! Thanks Soonerpsycho!!!
Posted on 8/16/11 at 8:41 pm to theantiquetiger
That's very awesome, if you decide to get it fixed and there's an easy way to duplicate it while that's being done, I'd like to buy a copy.
Posted on 8/16/11 at 8:48 pm to theantiquetiger
That's badass, antique...
You know, you should talk to Chicken about getting a blog. maybe you could highlight and talk about some of the pieces in your collection?
I'd love to see more.
