The longest-running operation of all the greatearly photographers, George Burke and George Brace covered baseball in one formor another for the better part of the 20th century—from 1929 to the 1990s.Their tenure had an auspicious beginning, to say the least. In 1929, Cubsmanager Joe McCarthy and catcher Gabby Hartnett sought out the ballclub’sprevious photographer. They could only remember his last name, Burke, so theylooked him up in the phone book. A listing leapt out at them: studio photographerGeorge C. Burke, whose office was located near Wrigley Field. Thus began thebaseball photography career of George Burke, who had no prior sportsexperience, and thus ended the career of photographer Francis Burke—the Cubs’time-honored official cameraman and an unwitting victim of mistaken identity.George Burke hired a young, baseball-knowledgeableassistant named George Brace, and the two soon became a Chicago institution. Ever-present at WrigleyField and Comiskey Park, Burke and Brace endeavored to amass a completeportfolio of player portraits—a daunting task made possible by the fact that Chicago was the only citywith both an American League and a National League franchise from 1929 all theway until Brace’s retirement in 1993. Nary a visiting ballplayer refused aquick sitting during Chicagohome stands. Some even stopped by Burke and Brace’s studio for additional, moreformal portraits. The tandem was also well-known for endearingly candidpre-game and off-the-field shots—proof positive that both photographers werealways welcomed by their famed subjects, embraced by them as friends at thestadium, at parties, in hotels, and on the street. The Sporting News, BaseballDigest and Who’s Who in the Major Leagues werejust a few of the publications in which Burke and Brace’s work frequentlyappeared.In 1948, Burke suffered a heart attack. Bracecarried on the business for several years in order to offset his partner’smedical expenses. Then, upon Burke’s death in 1951, Brace reduced hiscommitment from a job to an all-encompassing hobby. Though no longer theirofficial photographer, he was still allowed full access by the Cubs and Soxorganizations. It was a privilege he would maintain up until his death, ahalf-century later. With the exception of time spent as a U.S. Army medic in the South Pacific duringWorld War II, Brace attended at least one game of every home series at WrigleyField and Comiskey Park throughout hisentire 65-year career. For many of those years, he worked late shifts or oddjobs that paid his expenses and wouldn’t conflict with the game schedule. Healways liked to arrive at the ballpark several hours early, when players werejust arriving and fans were nowhere to be seen. In 1994, his age finally caughtup with him. Worsening eyesight forced his retirement from this long-time laborof love. Brace followed baseball up until the end and also co-authored a book, The GameThat Was: The George Brace Photo Collection. .
......Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program. How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item. I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
