Just got in from a softball game....3 run homer, 2 run triple, triple, single, 4 runs scored....it was a good night.

I am guessing I will be able to tell when I get it. Seller has14000 perfect feedback and I used paypal.. Plus, since this is the first one I have ever seen like it, it seems it would be hard to fake. But the totality of the situation makes me not too worried.

Just wondering, were there any fielders on the other team?



Seriously, nice box score Leon.

Admittedly it is a Sr. League.....but most of the guys are pretty good. The wind had died down tonight and the ball was carrying. I have hit the fence 3 times in the air, in two seasons, but this is the first one that went out.

what's even more impressive is that Leon was on his phone buying rare Ruth cards while legging out that first triple.

Did he stop to pick up a quarter on the way?

Being Jewish that reminds me of the ole blue chip joke.

"I got a great new Jewish sports car. It not only stops on a dime it picks it up too!!"

The white area at the bottom of the REA one seems to indicate more contrast; seems bright. Not to mention the fact that it's a much better photo than the subject one. It seems a better camera was used for REA as well. Also, if it's fake, I'll be negatively impressed by the false aging to the (rounded) corners. I'm looking on my tiny phone, but the back looks good...the paper does.

As the head umpire for the ASA in the Chicago Metro area, I feel you need someone like me to umpire your games. Tell me where and when and then we can have some verification of these Herculean blows.

I have a friend that was in a position sort of like yours. He had a very busy situation. As for the hitting......back at it tonight but I doubt I will be as successful. I love playing.....

and back to subject I should have the Ruth card soon so that should be interesting.

we need to do coffee Leon, I have a funny story about the Ruth and also want to see it in person.

Due to the silvering, I would guess it's genuine. Silvering is an aging process and usually only appears in antique photos.

It's real.....and nice.
