The write up:


Since they say at the beginning that is their all time favorite I take the last statement as an extension of their opinion based on what they find aesthetically pleasing. I, too, find the image to be nice. I do not like portrait images, I like baseball images. This one I find a lot more appealing then any portrait photo of Ruth, and honestly there are tons of images of his swing so it is nice to see this image (and the sliding ones that recently came up) come up for sale.

UHG... I will address this in more detail tomorrow as I am traveling. I have no doubt you are one to learn the hard way. Nothing wrong with that.. I am too. The last statement is not good. Also, nobody on the planet(other than a seller/owner) would make the the statements in that description. It is not about doing this for a long time. It is about common sense. Period and definitively bn2z. It is misleading at the very very best. Also, I am not telling you anything. I do not even know who you are in fact. My point is simply let the photos speak for themselves; without crazy outlandish claims. Ironically, I am saying what you are saying. The difference here is..i am not trying to sell a photo. My definitive statement is simply that this is not one of the best or THE best Ruth photos on the planet. I think most people would agree if they were being honest whether they have collected a long time or not at all. Do you think this is THE or one of the best Ruth photos on the planet/that exists?
