photo expert opinion

[ethicsprof]

JoeyF,
You've already had some quite helpful comments.
In my photo collecting, I do spend a great deal of time evaluating the
reverse of the photo. I wish that you could provide this, assuming that
it is not blank. I'd like to also know how you are certain it is a type 1.
Perhaps this information would help us to know something of the provenance,
which could help in determining valuation.
I agree wholeheartedly with your love of the pics of Ruth and the kids,
but this photo appears to be a scene that is militarily based or at least akin
to some governmental honoring of Babe.
$250 is often not a bad price for a Ruth, but I would have to reserve judgement until I hear responses from the aforementioned issues.
all the best,
barry
