The book, Adam, the book! You're the guy with probably the only credentials and experience to write it, and I just love Exhibits. It should be apparent to all that the image reproduction was significantly ahead of its competitors, and as both you and Scott have pointed out, there are some very significant rarities in the series.
As I'm sure you intend to, Scott, hang on to the Ruth--my bet is that it will do very, very nicely in the future. Unless of course you want to find it a good new home, where I can assure you I will take the very best care of it till death do us part! To me, it's not only rare, but just oozes significance, since '23 was the first year the Yankees won the World Championship, and the first year of Yankee Stadium, with you know who hitting the first HR there. Plus the fat fellow hit a career high .393, 41 HR's and had a .545 on base %, going purely by memory! If you do ever want to sell it, please let me know. I also agree with you re back damage--I was delighted to obtain a '56 Kahn's Frank Robinson with an EX+ front and back damage from apparently being improperly removed from a scrapbook. After many years of searching for a nice one, that one fits the bill for me, even though SGC graded it only fair.
Thanks, guys, for sharing your knowledge.
Larry
