Iconic shot. Apparently Gehrig was absolutely bullsh*t at Ruth for coming forward with an unexpected big dramatic hug. By that point Gehrig was done with Ruth and they had barely spoken for years. Reportedly Gehrig looked at it like one more self-engrandizing move by Ruth to hog the spot light and try to come off as a great guy. Of course none of this comes through in the picture.

Wow really? I was always under the impression they remained good friends but that makes sense. Curious where you heard that...always love learning new things about ruth and gehrig

I think it comes through. I saw it and said Lou doesn't look happy. A very polite smile.

Congrats. I have always loved this pic...got mine in 1989 or 1990 when I was 15 years old. Paid $200. Guy who sold it to me immediately regretted it.

Because none of it is true.

Agreed David.

Also, Joey is "at it again" Lance.

He came to me with a trade. Texting me constantly.. After I said I would think about it. I then accepted and "crickets". I had one of the photos in the works with another trade. Here I found out he sold one of the items after I accepted HIS trade.
He came to me with another story..
Remember his "my house got broken into" story?

This one:

It appears he is over extending himself again and not following through with his deals which negatively affects others.
He really needs to Just stop. Also, those that bail him out and then sell to him then bail him(buy back for less 1 day later-example)and sell to him need to stop anabling him. I know it's no ones responsibility to do so but man.. It's not good.
He clearly uses this place as a bst(not suppose to).. To show his stuff and then sells. I don't feel bad for him anymore. There needs to be a limit to the amount of strikes one gets.

It's nice to see this one still kept.. It is for sale btw.. He needs to apparently raise money because his job MIGHT be outsourced. Perhaps we should start a gofund me?

Im only responding to clear the record since Ben likes to leave part of the story out

I came to you with a trade which was 3 photos and $300 for one of your "blue chip" ruth photos. You said you couldnt do that and that you needed $500. I told you id think about it. When i went to work we had a boeing employee meeting discussing the high possibility of lay-offs (which is in the news and been on tv). That same day you miraculously decided you would trade me the 3 photos straight across for the ruth. I didnt respond because I was deciding what to do. The next day you got all emotional and went on a rant because i sold one of the photos. I told you i did and that i was selling others so i can be prepared in case lay offs do come. You changed the deal twice which i only committed with my first offer that you countered on. I told you id think about it. My decision to sell one of the photos came as a last minute decision. And your harassing text messages and constantly going through my photo bucket is just plain weird

Btw i can sell any of my photos i want to...you know why...because there mine. I dont give u sh*t for marking your photos up 500% on ebay which sit and sit and sit. How many of your photos have you posted on here that you later sold benny?

Its funny because that day we talked on the phone you were texting me for almost an hour showing me all your collection and trying to be bff's. Lol...come on man. Get over yourself

[JoeyFarino]

And what was that stuff you were saying when we talked that youre not friends with majority of the people on here because they either want something from you, jealous or want free advice. Youve told me that several times if im not mistaken.

Nope... I told you that people that "pm'd you about me after you went off on a swear rant" were probably like that. I didn't know who they were or even if it happened but anyone who would side with you on anything clearly has issues.
There you go, completely spinning the truth again.

Ya know something Joey? You're a complete asshole. And that's why most people here are not friends with you.

How many times has your complete lack of a moral compass gotten you in trouble here? And how many times have you attacked those who've caught you lying and/or cheating?

You were banned once. Do us all a favor and ask Leon to ban you again. Or just leave.

No. I told you I would do YOUR trade. I then offered to even let you throw in a lower end photo that you have been peddling for the 300 just so you wouldn't have an out. See.. I knew you would come up with a bill sh*t story.
Don't try to to blow smoke around the truth. I think everyone is quite aware now of your antics. Holding someone accountable for a deal and following up is not harassing.

What's plain weird is harassing me on my eBay photos from countless eBay ids. What's weird is making up relatives deaths and pregnancies to get out of deals. What's weird is making up a police report to get out of deals. What's weird is winning 50 eBay listings with the money to maybe pay for 1 if you sell other stuff for a loss(maybe an extreme example but everyone gets my point). What's weird is telling me that you are going to lose your job and need the money for your family yet try and change the deal(take one of the photos out and ask me how much more it will cost). What's weird is that you try and compare your selling to me or anyone else. The list of weirds go on and on.
I would rather mark my photos up 500 percent and care less if they sell than take a loss on every photo I own and make up about every ridiculous story in the book to feed a habit.
You came to be for my "blue chip" photo. Not the other way around.
