8x10 photo with a caption pasted on the back, along with a stamp for the Christy Walsh Syndicate. The Christy Walsh Syndicate was a ghost writing syndicate that operated from 1921-1938 that wrote books and articles for athletes and other figures and split the proceeds with the athletes. Given that information it can reasonably concluded that this is most likely a period copy purchased for use with a book and not an original or type 1. Christy Walsh ghost wrote many pieces himself, but also employed a team of writers that included Ford Frick. Walsh is also considered the first sports agent- he represented Babe Ruth.
