Photo prices

Never underestimate the power of historical significance to drive up the price of a photo. What you may consider to be a high price for an aesthetically inferior photo, at least two other collectors considered to be the price to be paid for the closest thing possible to actually witnessing a significant event in baseball history. I doubt any Yankee fan there that day treasured the memory of a later game more because Babe happened to look up and smile for the camera

Thats what makes collecting great. What appeals to one person may not to another but theres always someone to appreciate it. I just cant believe it went for 13k. The significance of that day is probably great to alot of people but for 13k to me personally i couldnt justify spending that amount unless it was aesthetically pleasing to me personally. If he was hitting the ball then i could see maybe half that price but for a shot of him simply rounding the base im just shocked.
