You have to just grimace when you read this in the sellers ad:
"You have certain EBayers that have no idea what their buying so they go on NET54 for opinions. These are the EBayers I really don't need. Or want."
GUYS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED :D:D. Stay away from this :D:D

I asked him what provenance he has to back up his claim that the calendar company inserted the Ruth photo and not some joe blow who wanted to dramatically increase the value of an ordinary calendar. His reply to me was that the back stamp on the Ruth photo proved it. I googled the name on the back stamp and there is nothing out there except a website with another photo of Ruth with the same stamp.

Everybody go offer him $2 for it. I just did. He'll likely get the point and know it's the "net54 bunch". :D

I reported this item to ebay as being a hazardous material.
The item in the listing is identified as a possible danger to health, safety, or property while being transported.
The thermometer contains mercury, which cannot be shipped through the mail.
We will see what happens.

It's not Mercury it's an alcohol-based thermometer

He obviously has a thing for net 54 members also because he's had problems before with members

I just asked him if it was a fake like the last one he sold with the glued on photo. I hate scam artists that screw with collectors.

I offered him $1.54 as I need a thermometer.

I just got into it with him, he spewed something about my gay lover on Net 54 and I offered him 99 cents. I'm still laughing because obviously it pisses him off.

You know it's great I got my $150 back and then PayPal made a mistake and put a $145.35 credit into my account and they couldn't take it away because they put it in my account so I made $145.35.

It is all Net54's fault .....he hasn't been able to scam someone (yet).

It's always good to "out" dishonest sellers......but sometimes you just have to move on.

As mentioned above there is another online image of Ruth taken by this photographer, which appears original and vintage. It depicts Babe having some sort of make up being applied. I think you would probably be happy to win it at 2.01. Having said that, it does not appear to be original to the calendar.

I said that before on here that the photo is original to the thirties by that photographer, and I told him that but it does not go with that piece. And then he cursed me up and down
