I have a group of 39 glass plate negatives that are available for sale. A good number of these are Bain photos, including the Ruth rookie era glass plate negative. Please inquire about pricing on specific pieces. I do not wish to spread around some of these images that have yet to be published (the ones I have pictured were all in the original auction listing, so they have already been "outed" as it were), so serious inquiries only please.
Please note recent auction prices on similar glass plate negatives:
Babe Ruth - $1,000-$20,000 (a pair of rookie era pieces each went for $20,000 in early 2015)
Lou Gehrig - $2,500-$5,000
Christy Mathewson - $2,000-$4,000
Other early HOF players - $600-$1,500
