We do offer "Iconic" shipping!

Ha! You are selling yourself short with "iconic" in this case. That word has now been watered down to average. How about "extraordinary" or "kicks major ass"? Looking forward to quick shipping too. I just paid for my 700th hr Ruth and my $41 dollar win from previous auction(Sorry). Not at all iconic of me. Sent that over too. Can't wait to add these "Babies" to my collection. They are very "Ruthian".

Speaking of extraordinary photos, how about that first Ruth photo in the current auction? That's a KMA Ruth image if I've ever seen one! It takes a little something extra to make the Bambino appeal to the artsy fartsy crowd, but I think the contrasting sky behind him on that one may have done the trick!

Ha! To each their own for sure. I am sure it will make someone really happy. Pretty sure it doesn't even crack the top 10 Ruth Braves images let alone the best Ruth on the planet however....oooofta You're right on one thing though.. artsy fartsy and Ruth do not go together like peas and carrots.

RMY is pumping out a lot of photos..lots of neat stuff to look at monthly which is nice.

I have never considered myself to be artsy fartsy. My knowledge of photographic composition only trails my knowledge of what constitutes a quality Babe Ruth image. However, I absolutely love that photo of Ruth! I wish I could afford to add it to my own mediocre photo collection. It reminds me of the Hank Greenberg image that Graig Kriendler was searching for a nice copy of earlier.

Mike, the Ruth photo is interesting, but there is a world of difference between that one, and the one of Greenberg that you linked to.

Facial features and the lack there of?

The background with the clouds is cool, but yeah - nothing very interesting about the Babe himself, and there seems to be a stain directly over his face.

Considering Ruth's mug that may not be such a bad thing. Just kidding...I understand what you are saying completely. I just really find the image aesthetically pleasing. I'm sure there are a number of Ruth collectors that are pleased to know you aren't interested in this one.

If you like it you should give her a run. For sure.. to each their own man. You never know, you might just win it.

As Ben said, "To each their own for sure". I really love that Ruth image. I think the Greenberg is special as well. You can certainly call me crazy, nonetheless, I prefer the Ruth. However, I am also an aficionado of the black velvet Aztec warrior paintings I see on the walls of some of the finer Mexican restaurants

fair enough. I would take the Ruth too. Not because of the image quality though.. just cuz it's Ruth
