This is a $1500 plus photo in my eyes.

It depicts a Baby faced Ruth IN THE UNDERWOOD AND UNDERWOOD VAULT
as a ROOKIE in 1915 LOOKING AT PHOTOS(maybe a conlon of himself??) with his Red Sox pitching mates.

That's a great photo. I didn't see it, despite scrolling through Henry's auctions a few times (then again, I don't buy many photos, and not Yankees or Red Sox photos in Henry's auctions )

I was shut out on the only two items I bid on. The Babe Ruth movie herald sold for $383; I recently bought one in similar condition for $315, with a buy it now obo of $375 (and yes, I did bid on that despite just buying another one but you have to have two to display the inside of the herald...). The other was the Stan Carlson Gehrig bio with promo material at $271. This winning bid is lower than what most booksellers would list it at--typically at $300 or above.

Thanks Mark y Mark, Phil and Max!

It was one of my favorite pickups! Below are a couple others I added to my rookie photo collection!

1951 Willie Howard Mays


1955 Sanford Braun Koufax


PS: Mark, you must have a rather large Gehrig photo collection by now! Congrats on the two latest additions.
