Babe Ruth 8x10 question Update: photo added

I'll probably go back in before the auction ends, I'll get one then.

My thought is that it's a commemorative type photo. I will take a wild guess that it's a newer copy and worth very little. I have quite a few Ruth items and there were thousands of these types of things made. I don't remember seeing any kind of picture pack with him in it from his playing days, though I might have missed something. Most things made after his playing days, and death, usually aren't worth too much. As already said, a picture of it would help to ID it. regards

If my memory serves me right, its a picture pack from the early 1980's featuring the greatest players of all time. The blue autograph sticks out in my mind. A while back I had a 8 x 10 of Ruth with a blue autograph and it had a post-swing pose like the one you are describing. If I can find my photo I will post a picture of it but it sounds like the same picture I had. I think the book value was around the $10 range for the Ruth.

Here it is...

Apart from it being on card stock and it having a blue signature, it looks to be a poor quality piece - bad photo, strange caption, and off-centered name.
