Now This is Just Ridiculous

As a collector of vintage baseball photographs I see a lot of photos that are second and later generation photos and oftentimes photos that are just listed wrong, but this is just stupid.

Here is the title of the auction.....

Antique Vintage Baseball Photograph 19th C


Now click on the auction and see what it actually is...

Ya know...I think they are being honest, but the offered photo is garbage from a collecible standpoint.

This would have to be the biggest stretch of a defintion of a 19th century baseball photo I have ever seen. The problem I have is that it comes up in more than one of my ebay searches and it doesn't meet the definition of "Antique" or "19th Century", yet that is how the title describes it. This would be analogous to a photo of a civil war reenactment being described as an antique Civil War battle photo.

Agreed. It was listed under art/photos properly, but should be listed as a reinactment of a vintage game. At least they didn't shoot it in black and white then age the photo.
