No ordinary news-service photo, this 8x10 example was captured by an official studio, Apex Photograph Company, and then distributed by the American League Service Bureau itself. Consequently, it boasts a higher level of quality, with heavy-stock paper, a crystal-clear image and a beautiful matte finish. The original paper caption is intact on the reverse, and there's a vintage handwritten caption on front. Featured are Gehrig, Ruth, Hildebrand, Mack, Cronin, Grove, Dickey, Simmons, Gomez, W. Ferrell, Dykes, Collins, Lazzeri, Crowder, Foxx, Fletcher, Averill, Rommel, Chapman, R. Ferrell, West and Gehringer. Impressively well-preserved player image area with minor peripheral handling wear.
