Quick Question on photo of 1957 Hank Bauer debacle
Posted By: leon
So in all of my travels I have made some contacts with folks that go to estate sales and call me with potential items to buy and split with them. So far nothing has popped up very good but it's no harm to be nice to folks and see what happens. Today I got a call from one of these gentlemen that said he can get a Hank Bauer photograph with his lawyer in the 1957 CopaCabana nightclub lawsuit debacle. He said it's an 8 x 10 and is nice...and is $70.....is there any room to make a buck on that photo with that kind of price? I have a feeling that is about a retail price or even high already? Thanks in advance for any help....... |

Well, as you know, it would have been better if the photo was of Billy Martin and HIS lawyer, or somesuch. I'm not a photo guy at all, but I would figure you might be able to profit ever-so-slightly from such an item. The only questions are: a. How much? and b. How long would you have to hold on to it to find the right buyer. I too would be interested to find out what some of our more knowledgable photo collectors would have to say on this one. Just a shot in the dark, but could it be worth any more than $125? There really isn't much interest in Bauer, but the connection to that infamous incident might push the interest level up a notch or two. |

Thanks for the feedback. It's an interesting NY story but from less than a very top tier player. Bauer was good but he was no Mantle and didn't have the draw of say a "Stengel"......thanks for the feedback though.....and if anyone else cares to take a stab it would be great..... |

I don't think there's much room in there for profit (if any...) I would guess luke warm demand for this obscure piece, at best. If this is a favor to a friend (splitting up a group lot or something), I would bet you don't stand to gain or lose much either way. |

I agree that the $70 price is high. That doesn't mean it would never sell higher, but I would the $70 is high for a profit making venture. |

Not to hijack Leon's thread (okay, I am hijacking it) but Thelma Todd's murder is unsolved to this day, and still gets brought up on tabloid TV. She was in two Marx Brothers movies. She was pretty and funny, kind of a poor man's Jean Harlow, but when she was killed in 1937 she was forgotten by everyone except movie buffs. |
