Default FINEST Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig Photo out there!

I was lucky enough to pick up this photo recently. IMO, one of the FINEST Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig photos in existence! It is an 8x10 large, Original Silver-Gelatin photo and offers absolutely stunning clarity taken just prior to the 1927 World Series. It has been used multiple times over the decades passed and is really cool to see that it was used in 1961 to publicize when Roger Maris broke Ruth's homerun record! It has some paper loss around the edges but the central image of Ruth & Gehrig is pristine still has its original caption attached to the reverse!
