[billyb]

I am a new member and was told this is best site for information. What is value of Ruth wire photo, type 1 or 2, non uniform. Have good size collection, inherited, so know very little, but trying to find out an approx. value for the non-uniform pictured photos. I will post one for viewing.

Well, if mine sells we'll have a better idea

Depends on the year, condition, subject matter etc. I have sold some for as little as $25 and some for as high as $400 with most being at the lower end if they look like the ones you posted (later career etc).

I can give a better idea if you want to send scans to my e mail or post them on here.

Rhys,
Thanx for the info Rhys. Not good info, but know where I stand. The collection is in excellant condition, have about thirty or so which appear to be used for printing. They have no backing, but are stamped on back, and have the crop marks on front. I am assuming the same situation with them, condition and content?

Glad you came over here. I think keeping in contact with Henry is the
way to go. I have noticed that the photos that have been authenticated by PSA seem to be bringing more money. Subject matter is key for top dollar,
that is for sure.
Again, good luck to you.

Yep, if you are buying them to sell, many of the photo collectors here seem to require PSA/Henry's approval; otherwise, they have little faith in what they are buying. Not sure what folks did with photos prior to that

What you'll find though, if you are planning to keep them, is that there are plenty of experts right here in this forum who can provide all the assistance you need - in fact, probably more.

Hey Best,
Yea I finally got over here for input, but I screwed first post up and put in wrong back to first photo.
As I said before, I am on vacation and away from my computer, but this vacation not starting too well.
Our last conversations was about our age, well, I had gall bladder attack and had to have it removed, so have been away for several days. Had lots of views on my original post, but not many replys, but I did not have the back to the one photo I posted.
So decided to post the second one.
I did take your advise, and have contacted Henry Yee, and at first of year he wants us to send him 10-20 of the copies, front and back.
So far it seems the non uniform Ruths are not doing too well at the auctions. But will have to find out how many originals we have, if any. I am hoping of the 30-40 editors cropped photos, myybe have some originals in there.
