It's one of those items I would try to find the largest audience for (maybe ebay), start low and let her go.....but that's just me and not everyone is as much of a risk taker (which is probably good)...

Thanks Leon! I think that EBay might be the way to go with this.

That's really cool, but I don't think a lot of people would spend too much on the newspaper ad. I think it would look awesome framed and displayed next to an opening day program. I really like old newspapers, but find them impossible to sell for any decent dollar.

Thanks Jason. Agreed, newsprint is tough. Looks great though.

I think a Yankee fan would get a kick out of that. It may be one of those items that could sell better to a non-collector who happens to be a Yankee fan. Great man-cave type of item for sure.

Here are three glass plate negatives that I have that were taken that same day, April 18, 1923.
