Babe Ruth General Gum Sign/Display

[drcy]

One thing to know is that we don't know what the finesportsamerica final items look like, and what we are seeing on their website isn't the final product.

Meaning, much of their images on the site are of real items (original old movie posters, etc), and they print on demand from those images. Thus, many of those items, including perhaps the Ruth ad, may never have been ordered or produced.

An example is, the following link pictures an actual original vintage movie poster, and, when ordered, they print on demand that image onto products: coffee cup, bag, print. The actual 'Pride of the Yankees' coffee cup, phone case or print likely doesn't exist. Is the Pride of the Yankees coffee cup you order original? Obviously not, and, beyond that it's on a coffee cup, will be easily identified as a reprint. Is the poster pictured on their site original? Yes.

Thus, the actual, finished products you order are not shown on the site. They have speculative images of what the Lou Gehrig poster or Gum ad imposed on a generic handbag or print or phone case would resemble, but that's it.

And, as has already been demonstrated, the eBay ad did not come from this site or from the image they have, as they are graphically different.

But, as I said, I will get one and report.

I'd also be happy to then examine the eBay bought one.

I'd love to see that happen, and would consider your verdict upon examination as good as we will ever get. One more question I'm not sure has been addressed: was there an attempt to track down the source of the eBay example? Was the seller contacted for the start of that process, and what was the result?

Would someone please provide a link to the FineartAmerica print?

It was said in the other thread that this item came from a collection that included some old baseball related letters. Shown below are a couple of samples that the seller had listed that were probably from that collection.

Here is the link to the available prints:

yes like Trey said.

I contacted the Ebay seller, he stated the sign and the old Yankee letters/contracts came from the same Estate Sale. He stated he had recently purchased all of that from.

For anyone newly joining this thread's conversation, we'd recommend perusing the original thread in the main forum.

Most if not all of the questions being asked here were previously addressed in that original thread, including a comparison
of Paul's display piece with the off-register images shown at the FineArtAmerica website, and David's excellent analysis of
the cardboard and paper and printing quality.
