photo expert opinion

[GKreindler]

Joey,

In terms of aesthetics, it's a beautiful photo. Good composition, clarity and contrast. It might be the content that could be a bit more fetching, but that's all in the eyes of the beholder. They're a lot of collectors who really like shots of players receiving awards or being a part of on-the-field ceremonies.

If it at all helps your decision, judging from Ruth's jersey, the image dates back to between 1927 and 1930. It's definitely from Griffith Stadium in Washington, as well. Who the other gent is holding the bat, I don't know.

The fact is, if you're 100% sure it's a Type 1, I would imagine that a shot of Ruth like this from his most famous years would be a nice deal at $250. Then again, when it comes to the pricing of this kind of stuff, I know very little. Maybe Ben, Rhys, Lance, David or some others wanna chime in?

Either way, I say that if the image strikes you, go for it!
