This is a Underwood & Underwood Type 1 from Sept. 12, 1919 just before being traded to the Yankees. What is also cool is that he played that day of the photo stamp and went 2-4 with 2 rbi's

All.. This piece is not legit just in case you should come across it again. It was mentioned in a thread on the memorabilia side some time back. It has been floating around for awhile. Sellers keep passing the buck rather than removing from circulation. Greed blows. You know who you are and so do I.
I am sorry you got a lemon here. I hope the seller does not resell. Item in question attached.

I tried to tell the buyer the same thing but he was convinced it was legit. I remember this piece was discussed awhile ago and was deemed fake. The original seller had it listed for a very long time

Thanks Joey

No problem man. There so many sellers on ebay who dont know anything about the type system or what they have. Alot of them will swear they have the real deal but in reality they just saw some stamp on the back and assume they know. Us photo collectors have to stick together..lol

Interesting how Brad's post went from calling Joey a douche to saying: "thanks, man".

Brad, I assume this is your Ruth item? Let's not see it out there for sale any time soon...

No... Brad purchased it from the latest seller/owner. I just wanted to make sure this pickup(in this thread) wouldn't suggest the piece was legit for future sales.

Thanks Jeff!

My e95 set had a very nice weekend. 8 new cards, zero creases. Thanks again Scott!

Sweet E95s Luke. They look amazing (and very bright!) together.

A couple pickups of mine-
The Matty came a couple weeks back and the E220 Johnson was from Just Collect's listings tonight. I got a little trigger happy in the last seconds on the WaJo with eBay's one click bidding and went quite a bit higher than I'd intended, but am happy to pick it up.

I took German in college so had to get a Sanella card. And I think the blue on the M116's is stunning.

A big thank you to Ian for these two cards.



And my upgraded favorite card. I just can't stop looking at it!

Man, your scanner does those cards more justice than my eyes ever did (or maybe it was my dim/under lit living room)!!

Congrats on the WaJo Bill, I know you've been after that upgrade for a little while now, and it's a great looking 4. Hope to see some more nice ones in the coming months.
