Joey,

I had posted in one of your earlier Photo threads. I am by no means an expert but I have about 5k wire and press photos in my collection, so I know a little about the subject. Unlike, cards and other areas of sports memorabilia, there is no definitive price guide for photos. My experience with photos is that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I have seen common photos of Ruth that are similar to each other sell for $50 to $500 with no rhyme or reason for the premium. Are you buying these for resale? If so, I think that the $250 is high and you will have very little profit in the photo and could even be upside down when you go to sell it. If you are buying the photo for your collection...do you like the photo enough to pay $250 and will it make you happy to own it?

Just my 2¢. Good luck.

Jeff
