Heritage Auctions. Dilemma.

On second thought I do agree...if you indeed don't need to sell it, hang onto it.

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I believe that I will keep it. I wish I knew how to post bigger pictures. It’s a decent Type I. The scans came out really bad.

Seems like the OP has made up his mind, but I agree that he should hang on to the photo. The fact that he is asking for advice on here seems to indicate that he doesn't really want to sell.

A $240 profit isn't a huge amount of money to sell an item when you didn't solicit the offer in the first pace. It's not like Babe Ruth items are a thin market devoid of potential buyers if you decide to sell sometime in the future.

Thanks all for the advice and PM's. I'm probably going to hold on to it for now. I don't need to sell it and it really does look good on my wall with all of my other Type I photos. Annnnd it is Babe Ruth. Always going to be a market for Babe Ruth...

Seems like a piece where there will always be profit moving into the future. You said you don't need the money. Consider if it's a piece that you will regret selling at some point in the future. If the answer could even remotely be yes, don't sell. Seems like it is, so hold on to it.

Also worth considering how easy it will be to replace. I'm totally clueless on photos but I would say probably not so easy.
