I would go with the first one. I plan to do something similar with my Ruth autograph, using this photo:

Nice photo scott! Ya the first photo has amazing clarity. I was leaning more towards that oneor holding off until I can pick up one of him in his playing days

I like the first photo. I've always been a fan of pairing a photo of the player signing autographs with an actual autograph (even if the item being signed in the photo is not the one framed with it). I think it makes for an interesting combination, almost like a wide-out shot, and then zooming in for the extreme close-up on the signature.
Plus, any sharp period photo of Ruth in action during his playing days will stand well on its own, and in my mind, the separate signature becomes a distraction from the photo (or vice versa) rather than having an additive value. Maybe that's just me though

Definitely the 1st photo. Photo #2 is pretty tough on the eyes, FWIW.

I agree with Scott et all. Def the first.

Definitely the first one. It says "yeah, I was a big deal."

Neither. I would want Ruth in uniform in some way.

I have to agree, neither of the photos above (especially the second one). I'd want to see him in uniform, at least somehow showing his connection to the game that made him famous

You can't be serious with that 2nd photo..........

The 2nd picture was from babe ruth day and yes im serious. The auto I have is from that time period so it was a option.

You have Ruth's autograph for what he did as a player, not for his being sick and almost dead. I understand why you would want a photo that relates as closely as possible to the actual autograph, but sometimes that doesn't make sense. I also am not a fan of the framed pieces that have an autograph framed alongside a photo of the athlete as an old man, dressed in civilian clothes, regardless of how great they look for their age, unless they are golfers. Or vice-versa - a photo of the athlete in his prime, framed with a signature from when they were so old they could barely sign their name. It's just a matter of aesthetics.

I don't care what day they were celebrating, it's basically his "dying photo".......not one I would celebrate, lol. Get a nice late career action photo of the Babe

It might make a great piece if you can frame the autograph with the 'signing' photo, AND an 'in action' shot. I had intended to choose between the two, but using both might work. Here are a couple of ideas:

Joey, the first photo is a grade A. Love it.
The second one's good too, poignant, but the first is hard to beat. Especially for an autograph. |

Thanks man! Ya the clarity is top notch. Might take scotts idea and frame with the first photo and one of him in his uniform

I like the second photo, just think the first is better for an autograph.
Joey's pick. I wouldn't have even asked this motley crew. Last edited by drcy; 01-30-2014 at 01:00 AM. |

I was just joking when I said everyone here's motley. I'm not motley.
But every rose has a thorn. No, wait. I think that was White Snake. Last edited by drcy; 01-30-2014 at 01:01 AM. |

Thanks Alex. I have 8-10 mock-ups of various items, ready to build as soon as I get a man-room. My girlfriend has demanded a pool table in the room - being a nice guy, I acquiesced.
