That Ruth Crown type 1 went for a nice chunk of change $37k before BP.

Was surprised to see a type 4 Red Sox Ruth photo go for $8200, there's another one on eBay right now (although a little later) ending today that I bet will go for a few hundred.

Two George Burke Gehrig portraits 8x10 sold tonight. They both had secretarial signature on them*. One on RMY and the other on Memory Lane. The RMY was restored (removed Mrs Gehrig’s Lou sig) (not PSA authenticated), but is a Type 1 and the other at ML was left alone. Based on the description I think the RMY was in better shape. The ML was PSA authenticated.

RMY sold for $5,339 (w BP)
ML sold for $3,674 w BP higher %)

I was trying to avoid bidding but bid on 6 items. I won two items the Buck Weaver batting post from 1919 World Series and a Ray Dandridge photo (I bought a ticket from a game, so it I liked the pairing.

looking forwarding to seeing what everyone won.

I was hoping to jump in with a Ruth photo

The Ruth Crown Photo Surprised me also. I was looking to potentially buy a Ruth photo and I was shocked to see the prices they were going for.
Even the 1918 News Service Photo type 3 Team photo with ruth going for over $4K was more than I expected.

We all know everything Ruth is going nuts with prices but I was not prepared for these on these types of photos.

Guess I have to adjust to the new norm in photos and reconsider my numbers for them if I am going to take that plunge

Ruth crown was shocking too, photos are wild west when it comes to prices. Abandon Comps All Ye Who Enter Here.

Pretty incredible auction results. I'm always amazed at the huge variations in the photo market. The 1919 Buck Weaver sold for over $1k before BP while the 1917 Bennie Kauff sold for less than $50. I would have expected the Weaver to go for more but nothing like that.

There are a handful of Ruth photos and negatives I've been on the fence about selling or keeping. If these prices are indicative rather than just a blip, the decision just got a lot easier....
