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!
Bryan,
Congrats.
It is a spectacular photo.
Best,
Mark
