Question about 1937 team photo

[RavenzSuck]

Does anyone have any information on a 1937 team Photo that was published by the Times Herald? A co-worker brought it in and I looked at it. It looked like a gem. It was in a very old frame. It is a great shot of the team too. Above each player, the player signed it and put their college where they went. Sammy Baugh and Turk Edwards were in it. There is also a dog in the middle of the team, it looked like a pit bull. The paper quality does look newspaper but I could not tell since I could not open up the frame. The original owner took great care of it. I will try to get pics of it. My description really does not do justice for this. I offered him 300.00 but he said that he was just going to keep it until he knows what it is worth. I think that it is the original picture that was distributed by the newspaper. I am just wondering if the original photo had the autographs on it. Any info will be appreciated. I am not trying to buy this so that I can resell it, I just want to put it up in my basement and later hand down to my children. I ll attach some pics when I can

This picture?



These are the 42 Redskins. I assume this is the one you're talking about because there is the dog.


Below are the 37 Redskins.

Definitely more like a German Shepherd...

Just thought I'd be a smart a**

Thank you for the pictures but it is actually neither of these pictures. There is only one row of players. The coaches look like they are wearing practice gear (t shirts and sweats) and the players are wearing the long sleeve jerseys. There are no bleachers in the background, it is only an open field. I will try to attach a picture today. Thanks

The picture you are talking about is a fairly common picture and sold at most of the autograph shows. It is nothing special from a collecting standpoint.

So, then it is not worth 200.00? Thanks for the info

[RavenzSuck]

See the pics that I have attached. I bought it today. I may have got ripped off for 200.00 but I really like it. It is quite unique. If you look closely at it, the picture was cut right above the autograph of the player. I just wish that I had more details on how the previous owner got it. I really want to open up the frame but I do not want to damage the picture. The frame looks home-made and I do not want to damage it by opening it up

found this out about it

then a follow up on that link it has this:

The picture was an insert in the Washington Herald Times newspaper in 1937. They are printed autographs and depending on the condition of the picture it could be worth over $500. I have one that is in ok condition (4 pin holes and some yellowing of the paper) and it is worth over $400.



looks like you might of made a good deal, mostly with it being framed

I'm in the process of turning my basement into a Redskins room. My favorite items so far:
1) 1937 Washington Redskins team panoramic photograph with printed signatures that was an insert in the 1937 Washington Herald Times

2) Darrell Green autographed jersey

3) Football with autographs from Darrell Green, Charles Mann, Marcus Washington, Bruce Smith, Lavar Arrington.

Thanks for the great info. My curiousity got the best of me and I opened it up. It is a copy, it is made out of photography paper. It is not the newspaper. It does say "TEAMSHERT PHOTO, Official Redskins Photographer"
It was very dirty and grimy. The glass took a while to clean.

So, then it is not worth 200.00? Thanks for the info

The reprint of the picture is common. I can buy them all day long at autograph events in say Chantilly for a nominal fee. I have no idea but it would cost, I would say under $50.

Not sure if yours has any value or not. It is a common reprint. If you have an original photo it may be worth something. If its a reprint, you paid too much.

[RavenzSuck]

Hey, thats your opinion. I know that it is a print or copy but it (frame and picture) looks very old. I just wish that I had the history on it. It is actually two pictures glued together. Thanks

[RavenzSuck]

I just wish that there was a way I can find out how old it is

from the Research I did, it is from 1937/38 The Redskins even have the same picture next to the 1937 Trophy

[RavenzSuck]

This is the same exact picture and it looks like the same size. Even if it is worth 10 bucks, I am happy with it

Cool, but where's the dog?
