You did just take a snip it because the very next statement I admit that if that wasn't Ben's perspective than it just didn't come off that way. The original conversation about this photo was talking about the eye appeal prior to Ben giving his opinion. Unless the term "artsy fartsy" is a term used for collectible value.


Lance,
Of course I have sold items from my collection to pay for other things, but when I purchased it I didn't think about the day I was going to sell it (except for the times it was bought for the specific reason to flip, in those cases I buy off research not personal feelings towards the piece).


Edited to add: I am really not wanting to come off as too argumentative if everyone wants to believe Rhys is wrong for giving his opinion, then that is your opinion. I don't have a problem with an auctioneer giving an opinion even if it does come off as fluff. I read the description as an after thought of looking at the item.

No, I really did give up. I don't want to get to the point where other forum members are telling me that I am repeating myself.

I do believe that 'artsy fartsy' is a technical term.

Artsy Fartsy

I can't believe the first part of that term was ever applied to Babe, but I'll bet he let out some beer-and-hotdog-infused blasts that would have earned him the second title. It's a good thing the nickname "Babe" stuck early on. Can you imagine collectors clamoring over items featuring "Fartsy Ruth?"

[Runscott]

I sometimes refer to mine as "Ruthian Blasts"

Hahahaha! That comment just made my afternoon, Scott.

Our Monthly Auction with over 300 quality images (and the Ruth photo that was discussed in this thread) ends tonight. Still plenty of time to register until extended bidding and it only takes a minute or two.
