photo expert opinion

Thanks for the input guys...im only buying to to add to my collection not to re-sell. I completely agree that its all subjective and I personally like this photo but didnt want to over pay. Rhys' s auction is starting soon so before I even think about picking this up im going to see what he has first. Cant wait!

I think $250 is reasonable. If it was just some nobody middle aged guy next to him I would value it less, but him being Secretary of War make it interesting. I read the back caption to see who it was.

Ruth photos are not rare, so you have to picky about which ones to put the extra $$. I would say this photo is average-range in subject-- not early but not late, nothing exceptional, but pleasant enough, no one else famous but with a notable guy, interesting military story. The image itself is nice, clean and focused. The $250 is probably an average-range photos for his photo, so it seems to fit.

If I thought the price was unduly high, I would say so.

My vote is closer to $150 - I have seen much more interesting Ruth photos go for under $200. Unfortunately, I have sold some of them.
