Now that it's done, a rare Sociedade Industrial Babe Ruth card

Does anyone else notice the slight difference in the viewing angle between the card's image and the one from the magazine cover, particularly with the Babe's head? Probably multiple shots taken.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that. Also, Ty has on a bigger smile on the magazine cover than on the card. I bet it was multiple shots...

Nate --

Good points, and I agree with them. The only issue I would add is that we assume "outing" an auction costs the winner thousands of dollars potentially. However, the counterpoint is also valid. If somebody wins something for a substantial amount, only to find it was not what it was presented as (fake, trimmed, etc), then "outing" it by discussing it on N54 would have saved the potential winner that same $$. I know there's no answer that would be widely accepted, however I wouldn't mind if somebody chimed in on something I was bidding on if they thought it was "not as advertised." Even if it's questionable, it makes all bidders more knowledgable and reflects in the final price.

And btw, I missed in my original post that it was an Ebay auction. I clicked on the Legendary link and thought we were talking about that one. I need to read more carefully before responding! It doesn't change my thoughts, but just wanted to clarify why my first response may not have made sense!

Take Care,
