Press photo of Ruth from 1918 season
I recently bid on this “vintage” Ruth press photo. I don’t know much about photos , but this one did not seem to have the same finish as an original that sold at one of the auction houses, I think REA. I have the original newspaper folio. I think the photo settled at $400. Just curious if that was a good price and what type it is?

This photo is almost always a type 4 or later type 2 (40s/50s). I'm going to wager yours is a type 4 (the clarity is a bit lacking to me). But you would need to see the back to be sure.
If it has a brown brothers stamp and is a type 1 you just made $3500. If it's a type 3 it's probably over $2000 imo. However type 3s this early are not really a thing as it pre dates wire technology being widely used. If it's a type 2 from around the 40s-50s you probably just made $1500+ Likely the most common photo of Babe in a red sox uniform. I'm using Rmy for sales data. I'm sure Rhys would have even more expertise on it.

Ruth's second m114, which I believe was released between Nov 1919 and July 1920, used that photo. There are four variations that I am aware of, two were credited to International Newsreel (including the initial printing, I think), and two were credited to Conlon.
